I'm sure you don't know who I am but if it helps I am the daughter of Richard Woods (now deceased) Near Flint Mi,(Clarence's brother). I'm sorry to here about your loss. Clarence was my uncle even though I didn't know him all that well. The only thing I can tell you about Clarence was that he was always nice to me every time I came to that side of the state and I enjoyed our conversations we had. I'm sorry I did not find out in time to make it for the funeral but I wish you all the best.
It was always a joy to see Clarence and talk with him. He was always so animated and happy. I pray for your family as you go through this difficult time. I know that he will bring that animation and joy to heaven as reunites with Sue Ann and Lisa Marie. God Bless. June (Mount) Pelton
