My Uncle Clarence was such a kind and sweet man. He would do anything he could for anyone. As the years went by, I didn’t see him very much, but thought of the him often. I know he is in Heaven today with his Lord. He is truly at peace. Aunt Mary Alice, Mike, Mary Jo, Mark, Andy and Robbie my heart goes out to you all.
I’ve known Mr. Odom for many years! He was such a Godly man and always had a kind, friendly word for everyone. He loved telling people about God’s love for them and was a faithful witness to many. I can remember having him for a Sunday School teacher. I learned so much from him. I will miss seeing him sitting in church, talking to him and hearing about his prison ministry. I know he will be sorely missed by many of the inmates he visited. He gave us all a special gift! The assurance we will one day see him again in heaven. He left a legacy of service for the Lord and I know he would want each of us to continue our service as well. I have many memories of Mr. Odom and I cherish each one.
Uncle Clarence was one of the kindest people I have known. Although I didn’t get to spend much time with him, I never heard him say a bad work about anyone. Rest in peace gentle uncle. Sincere sympathy to all. Joe Odom
Uncle Clarence was such a good person you could not help but love him. He always had a smile on his face no matter what he was going through. Never had a bad word to say about anyone. I will always remember how proud he was of his family and how much he loved them. He also loved the Lord and spoke the word often. My greatest sympathy to Aunt Mary Alice, Mike, Mark, Mary Jo, Andy,Robbie. Also to his brothers,Uncle Donnie and J.T. and to his sister Aunt Thelma. My prayers are for you all. Jean Odom Morgan
