Cliff Maxwell Obituary

Was so sorry to see that Cliff had passed, was out of touch for many years. I stood up to his wedding with Debbie and always enjoyed communicating with him and parents when we would visit. God Bless your soul Cuz till we meet again.

I can't believe it will be 5yrs since I lost you. I still think of you everyday and miss you so much. I wish I could just talk to you one last time and feel your arms around me once again. I will always love you.

I have been going through everything trying to get the new house in order and I look at pictures of you & us and you & the grandkids and I feel so sad and miss you so much. I hope I never loose the message on the answering machine because it has your laugh on it at the end. Gannon knows who his grandpa is; he points in the pictures and says "grandpa".

It has been 15 months since we lost our great friend, Cliff. not a day does not go by that we don't think of him. We pray that Mary can maintain her life. We are glad to see that she is beginning to get on with her life. Please know Mary, that we want the very best for you. You are such a dear friend, and we hope and pray that every day gets a bit easier for you to get through. Stay strong, hang on to all the wonderful memories that Cliff left you and each day it will get a bit better for you. Know that Joe and I love you very much, and wish you a lifetime of happiness. Cliff is greatly missed by many, but he was loved by all!! Hang in there,Girl!!

It has been almost 15 months and I still miss Cliff everyday. I think of little funny things he used to say to me or names he called me like "puddin' cakes" and how he always lovingly called the grandkids "ruggies". I feel sad that Gannon will never really know his grandpa. He was so excited when he was born, he couldn't wait to show me on the internet and he was so proud that he had the info from the web site before me. I have such wonderful memories of our life together.

For my nephews, Chris and Brian, who's sorrow is so evident, that to look at them, simply breaks my heart. The tragic and sudden loss of our loved one, has been a terrible burden to all who knew and loved Cliff, but so much more to them. The loss of a parent...we never get over that, we just learn to live with it. In an effort to console you, I want to share what I realized just recently. "We are the lucky ones." We who share a faith that we also shall rise again, and join our fathers in heaven. Until that time, God is the lucky one...Cliffs' got him rollin' on the floor laughing with that quick wit and sick sense of humor. He loved you boys, take those memories and carry them with you, for now that is all you have. Until we all meet in heaven, where there are no tears! Yo Aussie loves you....don't ever forget that!

It's hard to understand why some things happen....only God knows the reason.



I see your grief in your words.



Remember that Cliff is still here...in your children, how your home is decorated, in your heart, in many of your actions and your deeds.



There is a better place out there for us, after this life, where we finally experience the true glory of life. No more pain, hunger, poverty, sadness...we can all have this for our future.



Be strong, remember the good times, and keep faith in God.

It has been three months since Cliff's death and it still hurts just as bad, maybe even more so. I just can't comprehend that he is never coming back. I have his pictures everywhere so I can see him, even in my car. It is so hard to come home from work everyday because I have nothing to come home to. I miss him so much.

Mary,

We have grown very close to you and Cliff in the past 2 years. I will miss the little talks Cliff and I had when I would stop by the store to visit Rich and Cliff was on his lunch hour, we would sit and talk before he went back to work. Cliff was always making us laugh. The 1 thing Cliff always let be known was he loved you with all of his heart and he always would. We are greatful for the times we had and the memories we share with you. You will always be in our hearts and prayers. Always remember Cliff is by your side and you have friends and family that love and care for you very much. Our hearts and home are open to you always. We Love You.

Love and Thoughts Always,

Bridget, Rich, Ambrosia, Tiffany

To Cliff:

One of the nicest people I have ever known. Funny, blunt and always gets in the very "last" word. Love ya bunches, Cliff!! You will be greatly missed!! Your friend,

Cliff was the love of my life and it is so hard to go on everyday. I keep expecting him to be sitting on the couch watching TV. I can't believe he is gone and never coming back. We had so many dreams and plans. He was trying to take such good care of his health and an auto accident takes his life at such a young age. It makes no sense to me, only God knows why it had to happen. I will always be "Cliff's girl".

My heart aches for my sons. Many people are feeling the loss of Cliff, and my heart goes out to them also, but my sons are my heart on feet and it hurts to see them struggle threw this every day. God calls us all home at some point, and I hope that everyone can find comfort in knowing that Cliff has completed his work here at a young age. We will keep him in our lives threw memories....of his sick sense of humor...and his no sense of smell with all that cologne he wore!!!! God Bless and comfort all who loved him.......

Dear Mary, Chris & Brian and all those that loved Cliff.



My Sincere & Deepest Sympathy,



Cliff Will Be Missed !
