time to express my heartfelt thanks to
all of the friends and family for
everything you have done for myself
and all of the Case family. I have felt
the love and compassion from so many
and want to say thank you for being a
part of our lives and helping us through
the difficult times, for your physical
help, financial help, emotional support,
and prayers. Thank you also to let you

helping to keep Clifford’s dream alive.

To the family and friends who were
there for us during sorrow, thank you

it means to know you care.
Love, Ardella and Shannon

I love you, Mom. Thank you for
everything that you have done for me.

listen or that I don’t care, but I do. And
I appreciate everything that you have
taught me. I love you and have a
wonderful birthday!
Love always, your favorite daughter

Quick, over the years we’ve seen
one another through our share of highs
and lows. Through it all, we’ve
managed to maintain a certain level of
respect for each other and I want you to
know that I appreciate that. I value the
memories I possess of you and I
wouldn’t change anything even if I
could. I miss you.
Today our struggles are different
and the paths that we’ve taken in life
have managed to put some real miles
between us, but in the end, one thing
remains the same - I’m here for you
and I always will be. I love you, Boo.
Today, tomorrow, for life, Nahni
