Dear Flo,Diane and Ed,
With tears in our eyes we send our condolences to you. Cliff was an incredible inspiration to all of us as he daily pursued
the struggles of walking that round Camp Arey block and swimming despite the elements! He always had a smile and a
powerful strength to make the most out the day God gave him! We will truly miss him in our ‘summer lake family” days as he was one
of the key individuals in our tapestry. With love, Lizanne Bosseler-Makoid
