Aunt Hazel, Donna, Karen and families, our love and prayers are with you all. Uncle Cliff was a special man who will be greatly missed by all the people he loved and all the people who loved him. I am so thankful to have been been with you to say a final I love you to Uncle Cliff. My favorite "Uncle Cliff" story was "Shell & the Spitshine".....the night I spit all over his perfectly shined boots because I wanted to help him. Hold on to all of your special memories and I pray they will soothe your heart when it hurts. Love and hugs for you all, Shell, Buster, & Skylar
