Dawn,

My father told me today of your loss. I am so sorry. Words fail me. God will never give you anything you cannot handle, and I am sure you will get through this extremely difficult time. Unlike some, I have never gone through what you are going through. I can't even imagine how hard it would be. But I know you are strong. You will be fine. Clyde is at peace; let that thought help you.

Love,
Kelly Sharpe

I'm so sorry for your loss. Remember that you will always have him with you in the eyes of your children.

Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints. Psalm 116:15

God stays close to us even in death, believers (saints) are precious to God, and he carefully chooses the time when they will be called into his presence. Let this comfort you and your family during this time.

Dawn,
I'm sorry to hear of your loss, I have walked down the same path as you both for a husband and a son. I know that words can never replace your loss. Know that your family and friends will be your comfort in the time to come. A day doesn't go by that I don't think of Kenny and Preston, parts of your life so dear cannot be forgotten. Always keep your memories of your husband close to your heart, for that is something else that will help you in the days to come. If you ever need to talk, call and I will walk with you down this long road.
Your cousin, Nancy

Clyde was a wonderful person and will be so greatly missed. I am praying for all of his family. His cousin, Jenny, has been a great friend to me for a very long time. I shared some good laughs with Clyde in school (class of 93). I am still in shock. Please accept my most sincere condolences, and know that his family will be in the hearts and prayers of so many people that he has touched.

I was a long time friend of Clyde. (We went to school together) I never had the privledge of meeting his wife and children. But my prayers are with you and the rest of his family. He was a great guy and will be missed greatly! Put your trust in the Lord and let him carry you through this tough time.

Dear Dawn and Family: Although we have only met on a few occasions (at Kendal's birthday parties), I just wanted to let you know how sorry I was to hear of your loss. Please know that you, your children and family are in my thoughts and prayers. Fondly, Julie Thomas

Dearest Dawn, Lauren and Jake. I tried to write this yesterday but just couldn't think of words that were significant enough to comfort you in this untimely loss you all have suffered. I'm still at a loss for words. But, I want you to know not a minute has gone by since this tragedy that all of you have not been in my thoughts and my prayers. I never met Clyde, but from what I hear, you're all blessed to have had him in your lives for the short time he was here. Though I know it's unimaginable, time will heal the tremendous hurt you feel, and you all will be left with serene, cherished and loving memories of the happier times you shared with him. If there is anything, anything at all I can ever do for you, please do not hesitate to let me know. My prayers and thoughts continue to be with you.
