Wow, so sorry Marilyn for your loss. I just found an old address book with phone numbers from my ex (Jenny) and ran accross your address and did some research and found this out. I have been remarried for 30 years and retired in 2006. I currently live in Mesa, AZ and have a home in Lakeside, Az. Blessings to you and the kids. Steve (Cliff's old tennis buddy and neighbor)

Marilyn, I'm so sorry for your family. We never got to know Cliff too well first because of Rusty's health, and then because of his health. I think they would have been great friends. Now they can get together in Heaven and have great discussions about Missles, Hugh's & Raytheon! I'm so thankful you have the peace of knowing Cliff entered into Glory! Blessings to you and your family!

Dad, We will all miss the way your whole face would light up when you held your grandbabies, no matter their age. Cliff truly loved his family and he loved us well.
Mom, I am sorry for your loss. I am glad that you are a strong woman of faith, and know the Lord will receive him. I lift you up in prayer.
Love,
Nikki

So sorry for your loss. Please remember "For if we have faith that Jesus died and rose again, so too God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep in death through Jesus." -- I Thessalonians 4:14
