We will miss Clarence. He was sincere and loving to family and friends. He loved Diane, his wife, with all his heart and missed her terribly. That is the only consolation myself and my husband have is that they are together again. They were both not only friends, but more like family to us. My condolences and prayer to out to his family and all who miss him.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends. Please know that the loss of Clarence has left a huge void in the lives of so many who loved him dearly here at Brea Baptist Church in California. He was truly a gentle-man and gentleman, a true lover of our Lord, and a man of grace and generosity. You were blessed in having him a part of your lives for so long...although too short a time. My consolation is knowing that he rests in glory and celebrates his eternity with our Lord and Savior forever, meeting with his family and friends who have left before. We will try to rejoice with him. Blessings, Bonnie Scribner
