Clem - You meant so much to so many people over the years, a few words are impossible to sum them all up. You never acted your age and were always so interesting and engaging, a pleasure and fun to be around. We will miss your warm presence in our family and the kind thoughts you always shared. Oh what a beautiful garden you will have in heaven.

Linda, Martha and David, We're so sorry that we won't be there to honor Clem's long and wonderful life. We are so happy to have had those special visits you were nice enough to include us in when you were in Woodstock. I'm hoping those visits will continue to catch up and reminisce. Dexter and Nancy
