    It was an honor getting to care for Clifton over these last few months. I always looked forward to seeing both Clifton and Doris. Thank you for allowing me to come into your home in your most vulnerable moments. I will always cherish the time I had with you both.

    We always enjoyed spending time with Clifton and Doris. We made many memories. When I was young I stayed with them in Jamestown for a few days in the Summer. Michelle and I always had a blast. The last time we saw Clifton was at my Dads Funeral and the last words he told us were “Enjoy Life while you can as Life is too Short”. We will never forget those words. Hugs to the entire family.
