I know that you don't know me, I went to Visitation School with Clyde. That was a lot of years ago. I don't think I ever saw him after he left Visitation but I always remembered him. I'm not sure if I remembered Clyde because of his name, or his little bow tie in class pictures, but for whatever reason I remember Clyde with fondness in my heart. I am sure that his family will miss him. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you....Deb

Clyde was my very first friend and one of my best friends. When ever Clyde and I got together it was always like we had just seen each other yesterday.
Having Ckyde as my friend has always been a comfort to me all of my life. Just knowing I still had my very first friend around was a comfort.
I can sympathize with your loss. Clyde will be missed by many many people. I know that Clyde is in heaven will still be a part of my life. He is one of God's very special people.
