Marina says
Too sad this day, although we may have never sat down to shoot the breeze, I have lots of love for my brother, my cousin Clifford and his family. The beauty of this is we were always connected by blood, and just a wave, smile, or hey would suffice. I’m gonna miss you Bro. Good travels, when you see your nephew, tell him I said, “Hi, and I can’t wait to be reunited with the families”.
To all my relatives, nieces, nephews, grandchildren, sisters, May God give you the Peace only he can give, and the promise and hope that we will be together again.
God Bless,
Marina & Family.

I offer my condolences to Clifford’s and his mom Virginia’s loved ones. I’m so very, very sorry for the loss. As I recall, the last time I spoke with my relative Clifford, he called me “brother”. He’ll be remembered fondly.
I’m praying for the Lord’s help for Clifford’s many loved ones during this time of hurt and loss.

Daniel Knows His Gun says
Cliff… shocked and saddened to hear of your passing. You were my friend , my cousin, my brother. When we both lived in Colstrip , I always enjoyed our visits. Even though you were a few years older than me, you always treated me like we were equals. I always appreciated that. You carried a solid confidence, yet without any arrogance..just respect. I’m sorry we hadn’t visited for such a long spell since I moved, but I’ll always remember the laughs and your genuine concern for your friends and relatives. God bless and keep the family through this difficult time..
Marsha says
