Hi Clifford. I see that everyone calls you George now. Well, you'll always be Clifford to me. I just found out a couple of weeks ago that you are with Aunt Margarette and your dad now. Anthony told me when I called him to tell him about a family reunion Patty (Aunt Gerogie's girl) is planning down there in August this year. You are one of the people I was most looking forward to seeing, and your kids and grandkids, I wanted to show you mine too, but I guess now you can see mine anyway. Some of my only memories of my childhood (a lot of them) are of times that you, me, David, Jasper (sometimes), Anthony, Mary, Michelle and Edward played at Granny and Grandpa's house in Dade City. We used to go down there in that pond and know that we were ALL gonna get beat, but do it anyway. I always loved you and knew that you were like your mama, one of the kindest and biggest hearted people God ever made. I am so proud for you that you overcame the abuse we all suffered and became such a great dad and grand-dad yourself. I can tell you did because Anthony told me (smile-he always adored you though) and because I've read the postings from your family, especially your daughter Cristy. I have a Kristi too. She probably wouldn't say I was as great at the parent thing as your daughter would, but with God's help I've turned my life around too now and I am finally the person he created me to be, despite it all. I remember when you and Patty left Dade City and went to Arkansas, I was sad. I knew I'd probably lose touch and I did, I just wanted you to know that I never lost the love I have for you. It's always been there. I have had some contact with Anthony a few times over the years, and asked how you were and he always had good reports of your life. I'm glad you had a good one with lots of people who loved you and still do. No one deserves it more than you, Clifford. It may have taken me a few years to get news of your passing, but I'll never forget it now, you can bet on that. June 21 is my birthday and from now on I'll remember you and say a special prayer for your family on that day. Maybe some of them will contact me. Say hello to Mama while you're there. Tell her I love her and miss her, I'm sure she loved seeing you again, she passed in 2003 and I don't even know if you ever got word of it before your time came. Your mama was someone my mama loved deeply and she loved all of you kids just as much. I'll see you all there someday. With lots of love and fond memories.......Karen

BUT YOU KNOW I WILL BE THINKING ABOUT YOU AND KNOWING THAT YOU ARE HAVING A GREAT B-DAY REATHER I AM HOME OR NOT. ITS JUST NOT FAIR CAUSE WE CANT SEE YOU AND GIVE YOU THE FLOWERS AND PRESENTS IN PERSON BUT ONE DAY WE WILL! SO I WILL TELL YOU NOW HAPPY 51ST B-DAY DADDY WE LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU BUNCHES!!!!!! KEEP WATCHING OVER US AND KEEPING US SAFE. ANYWAYS I KNOW YOU ALREADY KNOW YOUR SON IS JUST LIKE YOU HE IS BEING SO HARD ON HIMSELF RIGHT NOW IT IS NOT EVEN FUNNY. BUT I AM STAYNG OUT OF IT. IT IS GETTING REALLY HARD BUT I HAVE TO HE IS GROWN NOW. HE HAD A GOOD 21ST B-DAY FROM WHAT HE TOLD ME. AND OF COURSE I HAD A GREAT 30TH B-DAY!!!!! IT IS NOT SO BAD AFTER ALL.

"The Badge"
He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.
He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.
Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.
He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whos blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.
His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.
He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.
And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.
But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.
Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.
Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.
So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.
In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.
Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.
