Dear Jean,Gail,Martha,Arnold, & Roger – I’m very sorry to hear of Mr. Clement’s passing. He was the best neighbor you could ask for. He never bothered you but he was there if you needed him. I truly respected and admired him. He will surely be missed. My prayers go out to the whole family.
Martha, Roger & Family, My parents and I were so saddened to hear of your Dad’s passing. Your Dad will be missed by many. My Dad enjoyed your Dad’s friendship for many years. Losing a parent, a longtime community family member, friends, make it sad to say goodbye.
Although health issues prevent me from attending the funeral, your family will be in our thoughts and prayers as you face this difficult journey. I pray that happy memories of your Dad and Mom, along with Christ promises of one day seeing each other again will provide strength/comfort during
this difficult time.
If we may be of help in any way, please do not hesitate to call.
God bless you,
