TO THE BECK FAMILY , I AM TRULY SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS RICHARD LANE
Fern, Tootsie, and family, Thoughts and Prayers are with ALL of you! Clyde was a special cousin and special person in so many ways. I have fond memories of him through the years and cherish our talks. He loved life and always had a kind word for everyone. He was extremely proud of his family and loved each of you so very much. May you find comfort in knowing that he is safe in the arms of our Heavenly Father now and reunited with love ones gone on before; and that one day we as Christians will also be reunited with them all. We pray that your cherished memories will help heal your emptiness and that your tears will soon turn to smiles as your remember our special Friend (Husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle or cousin). He left part of himself with each of us; He will be greatly missed but never forgotten. Were praying for Gods strength and healing during this time and in the days to come. Love you all, Milford, Joanie and family.
