Elaine .... I just happened to be glancing through the online site of the Faribo Daily News and saw that Cliff passed on not long ago. Please accept my sincere condolences. I know he meant the world to you and it'll be different not having him around to talk to. Take care & hang in there.

Dear Cliff will be greatly missed. He was always willing to lend a hand with farmwork, driving tractors, chopping, whatever was needed and we relied on and appreciated his work. Holidays were always just a little more special when Cliff and Elaine joined us; his humor and gentle presence (and card playing ability) was always welcome. Thank you, Elaine, Bruce, Rick and Lori for sharing him with us. Cliff, we're so glad to have known you. Bless you for all the wonderful memories you gave the grandchildren, the fishing and camping, the cards and games. But especially for the love and strength you extended to Kevin. You've long been an wonderful part of our lives. Now God has taken you in his hands and given you his peace. Our love to you, Cliff, until we meet again, Keith and Lauri Remund.
