Sylvia,

I remember when Clarence and my Dad, Leroy
would visit and get together, especially when
they would have to go to Sears and followup
on a complaint, etc. Dad would kind of help
Calrence get his point across to the sales
people at Sears and eventually remedy the
problem. I always enjoyed being around Clarence
and listening to he a Dad talk and carry on.
Those are wonderful memories for me and my
(4) brothers, Wade, Rod, Doug and Dean.
Please take care of yourself, may God Bless
you.

Sylvia:

It's been a long time since I have seen you guys, however, I do think of you often as I reflect back on the years that I was a member of Powers. Clarence always had a way of making me smile Phillip and I are sorry to hear of your loss. May it be comforting to know that he is in heaven and he two of you will be reunited one day. Will continue to remember you and your family in our thoughts and prayers. Phillip & Carol Stevens
