Years went by…so many years ago. I remember I young boy who was the first to tease me on the bus, to hold my hand, to kiss me on the playground. So handsome. I believe souls leave imprints on our hearts. Today I am feeling our connection from so long ago. Sending love and light to Clif and Lucy. Gone but not forgotten. Love to the family🕯🕯

I was very saddened to hear of Clif's passing. I thought about him often and wondered how he was doing. I was friends with Jessica Graves throughout school and that is how I got to know Clif. He was alot of fun. I just completely enjoyed being around him. I am so sorry for your loss.

I mourn the precious little boy I once babysat and will always remember. Prayers being said for all.
To All Parents
"I'll lend you for a while a child of mine," He said.
"For you to love the while he lives and mourn for when he's dead.
It may be six or seven years, or twenty-two or three,
But will you, till I call him back, take care of him for me?
He'll bring his charms to gladden you, and should his stay be brief,
You'll have his lovely memories as solace for your grief."
"I cannot promise he will stay; since all from earth return,
But there are lessons taught down there I want this child to learn.
I've looked the wide world over in My search for teachers true
And from the throngs that crowd life's lanes I have chosen you.
Now will you give him all your love, not think the labor vain,
Nor hate Me when I come to call to take him back again?"
"I fancied that I heard them say, "Dear Lord, Thy will be done!
For all the joy Thy child shall bring, the risk of grief we run.
We'll shelter him with tenderness, we'll love him while we may,
And for the happiness we've known, forever grateful stay;
But should the angels call for him much sooner than we've planned,
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes and try to understand!"
