I wish to express my sympathy to the family of Clarence Poffenberger. I liked Clarence and Diana from the first time I met them. Clarence was always so upbeat and friendly, he put you at ease when you were with him.
I will pray for his family.
God bless you all.

Clarence was a man who's optimism and laughter will be missed. He found good in most everyone, a rare trait we don't all have, but should. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to all the family. I wish that he and Diana are happy being together again.
