Uncle Clifford had a large influence on my life. It is because of him that I joined the Navy. I shall always have fond memories of him. He was my mothers favorite brother.
Our Uncle Clifford was very dear to us. He will always be with us in our hearts and our memories. He taught us many things as we spent the summer with him and our grandparents when we were very young. God needed you in heaven, Uncle Clifford, but we will see you there.
Love You Always

I will always remember my brother Clifford as my buddy and friend. I will miss him dearly. When my work here is done, I will join my family around the supper table as we did in our childhood. Thanks to Naomi for always remembering me! God bless you.
Patty,
I was so sorry to hear about your father. I know the loss can be especially hard during the holiday season. Please accept my condolences and give them to your mother as well. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Uncle Clifford was always an uncle you could look up too. He was a good honest man. There should be more like him in this world. He was a friend as well as an uncle. Uncle Cliff we love you.
I’m glad Mom had a brother like you. You were very special to her and me. Thank you for being there.
The summers were great fun, the boxing lessons were greater fun, but seeing who could wake up first in the morning was the greatest fun. Cheryl, Cynthia and Bobby all send their love along with mine and Lynda’s. Thank you for touching my life at an early age. We all know you can’t go back but you can go UP, see you then.
I am so sorry for your loss and my thoughts and prayers are with you.

I am deeply sorry of your loved one. I know what it is like to lose someone that you are close to,but each day I have to just keep remembering that they are in a much better home where there is no more suffering. My thoughts and prayers are with you and the family during this time of grief.
My deepest sympathies and condolesces go to the family of Mr. Clifford Arthur Clubb.
It seems so unfair that death should have the power to take away someone you love. And when it happens, the thought of never again being able to talk to, laugh with, or hold your loved one can be most difficult to bear. That pain is not necessarily erased by being told that your loved one is up in heaven.
When death takes your child, your husband, your wife, your parent, your friend, it is truly what the Christian writer Paul called it, ‘the last enemy.’ There is hope. Death will not continue to rob mankind of their loved ones indefinetly.
When Jesus was on earth there was an occassion that deeply grieved him. He met a widow of Nain and saw her dead son. The Bible account tells us: ‘As [Jesus] got near the gate of the city [Nain], why, look! there was a dead man being carried out, the only-begotten son of his mother. Besides, she was a widow. A considerable crowd from the city was also with her. And when the Lord caught sight of her, he was moved with pity for her, and he said to her: ‘Stop weeping.’ With that he approached and touched the bier, and the bearers stood still, and he said: ‘Young man, I say to you, Get up!’ And the dead man sat up and started to speak, and he gave him to his mother. Now fear seized them all, and they began to glorify God, saying: ‘A great prophet has been raised up among us,’ and, ‘God has turned his attention to his people.” – Luke 7:12-16. Notice how Jesus was moved with pity, so that he resurrected the widow’s son! Imagine what that portends for the future!
This example was just a small foregleam of what Jesus will do in the very near future. Millions therefore can have the solid hope of seeing their loved ones alive again on earth but under very different circumstances. Yes, Jesus Christ promised that millions now dead will live again on this earth and have the prospect of remaining on it forever under peaceful, paradisaic conditions. May Mr. Clubb be among them.
May the God of comfort be with you.
God Bless You Naomi
My Paryer’s are with You.
Take it easy,relax.
