    Such a wonderful, beautiful man from a wonderful, beautiful family. His dad, Uncle Clarence, had the same attitude with life - love you and every one counts. I can remember Cliff stopping every Sunday morning to pick up Jean, Tim and myself for Sunday school along with Gary, Terry and Cheryl. They don't make people like that anymore. Rest in peace Cliff. You deserve it.

    My heart is with all of the family at this time. I remember Cliff when I was a young lady and before he and June were married. He led a long and wonderful life with his children, wife and the rest of the Cranford family. My thoughts go with you.

    We will miss you Cliff, even though we didn't visit on a regular basis...you and June were always there when we invited you to special events. It was such a privilege to have you both take the time to come and share the occasions (i.e retirement party and weddings). We love you both more than you can imagine! I just hope that time heals and Thank God for the memories! xoxoxo
