We also would like to thank Dr. Gremminger, Dr. Murphy, and P.A. Dan Lemmens for everything they did for Cliff the passed two years. Uncle and Great-uncle, you taught us many lessons. You taught us how to drive and how to win at poker. We enjoyed your laughter and your many stories. We struggled with you, as your steps grew weaker. Now your mansion awaits where your golf game will always be great! So journey home on angels wings, to your Father. Jesus left to prepare a place for you to live eternally. Peace be with you, until we meet again.
