An amazing man....
Sometimes on a particularly bad day (or on a good day:).... I would drop by to visit Mr. Godfrey and Clara. They lifted me up and we would sit in the sunporch and talk and laugh....and I always felt like a better person just being in their company. I will miss Mr. Godfrey as I do Clara... and tonight there is a star that shines a lot brighter. I will miss you, your funny stories, your antics and your good and kind heart. XO
