I loved you like a brother and we had some great times and I will miss you dearly as will all who knew you. I knew I could always depend on you for a kind word or gentle push whichever one you thought I needed. I will miss you more then words can express and I will keep Carolyn and the girls, as well as the rest of our family in my thoughts and prayers.

Hey Clarence, you we're a wonderful uncle, we ejoyed each and every day that you was here, we all miss you dearly and now you can look down on us, we love you and miss you When I have had
to follow

New directions,
you were there.

When the world was
hard on me,

you always seemed
to care.

Everyone needs
someone

Who's reliable
and true.

Through the moments
I've endured,

I'm grateful there
was you.

To all of Clarence's family immediate and extended I want to offer my deepest sympathy's. I will keep all of you, and Clarence in my thoughts. I will always remember Clarence, he was a good man...I will never forget that he always had a kind, and helpful word to all those who deserved it. I will also remember that Clarence was one of few people I have met in my life that when he said something to me I didn't ever have to wonder if it was true...I learned that Clarence usually didn't talk about things he didn't know about, and was always up front, and honest with what he did talk about... I am only sorry for one thing, and that is that I didn't know Clarence better then I did.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
