Burtonsville, MD Monday, June 11, 2012 We were so pleased that Aunt Christine & Uncle Clarence came to our wedding. Uncle Clarence walked me down the aisle to give me to Forest. And he wrote a poem just for us and recited it.Memories of Uncle Clarence are of him and some of his children as my Dad and I went on a trip. We stopped for a sundae - a real treat.
I remember Aunt Christine and Uncle Clarence at Yuchi Pines Institute. You had a little black dog.
And you came to NC to see us. We always cherished our times together.
Uncle Clarence, who we used to call Uncle Gordon, will be sorely missed.
Our condolences go to all his friends and family.
Annabelle (Kendall) Randall and Forest Randall
