Our sympathy to Louise and Nancy and family. We have many memories of our long time friendship thru the years. You will all be remembered in our prayers.
Clyde and you are awesome role models for followers of Christ and for church membership. I remember Clyde so fondly on my evangelism team, making coffee each Sunday, collecting Sunday School offering, ushering,and part of Movie Group, and so much more. I especially know I could always count on him to be a faithful, caring, quiet servant as well as a faithful, loving husband. We have missed you both so much, but Countryside and our lives have been greatly blessed and enriched because we were touched by you both. Grace and Peace, Jeanne and Dick
