Sorry to hear of your loss. Now is the time to not only bereave of his death but also praise the birth of his everlasting life. GOD open the heavens and called him home. Now he no longer has to suffer from all the aches and pains. GOD takes a life to give a life. Somewhere in this world a child was born and his time of death.
I know that some of you may not know me but I have you in my prayers. Hoping that you can lead your way through this time of grief and know that Clarence is looking down on each and everyone of you! GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!
