Dear Cousins, I’m so sorry about Uncle Clyde’s passing. It brings back sorrowful memories of Mom’s passing. But, they are both (Uncle Clyde and Mom) in a better place, awaiting the resurrection into God’s beautiful paradise! It will be wonderful if we’re all there to welcome them back from the grave! I’ll always remember Uncle Clyde wanting to teach us all to water ski. Of course, I was too big of a chicken to learn! I’ll miss him greatly until I see him again.
We have known and loved Clyde for many years in Riverview, Florida. Clyde was well known for always being there for everyone who needed help. He was best known for his dancing and his Black Daniels cake at our many block parties. All of his neighbors on Arnold Creek will miss him very much. He is now with Beverly and out of pain.
DEAR OLD FRIENDS, SORRY TO READ OF YOUR LOSS, HAVING LOST BOTH PARENTS MYSELF, I KNOW THE GRIEF YOU ARE GOING THROUGH. ALTHOUGH IT’S BEEN MANY YEARS SINCE I’VE SEEN ANY OF YOU, I STILL THINK OF YOU OFTEN, AS I DO MANY OF MY CHILDHOOD FRIENDS. MY THOUGHTS ARE WITH YOU THROUGH THIS TIME OF SADDNESS. DAN WOOD
Uncle Clyde was always very good to me and my family. I still remember with great fondness the times when we went to Racoon State Park for summer picnics and swimming. Also the great help that he was when purchasing my first boat. I will miss Uncle Clyde.
Our thoughts and hearts go out to the family of Clyde Rennie especially you Debbie and Mike on the loss of your Father. Condolences Bob & Sue Bouchet
Dear Deb and family…I was sorry to read about your Father…I pray that you and your family will find strength during this time of sorrow. Garnette Marsh
