Clementh was one of the sweetest ladies I have ever known. I am so sorry Ronnie & I didn't know until yesterday when Ronnie saw it on John's FB. I always loved visiting you all & playing Rook. My heart goes out to all of you, she was always close to Becky.

Becky and family! There is a celebration going on in Heaven! Clemeth was a soldier for Christ. We love you all!
Becky and family, My heart goes out to you. Ms. Clemeth was an extraordinary Christian lady. We know she is with her Lord and Savior. She usually sat across from me in our Mary Sunday School and I loved hearing her lead prayer, such sweet sincere prayers, just like she was having a conversation with the Lord. We know this Saint is with her Lord and we will see her again. Praying for comfort for Becky, Scott, and John. Judy Rader, HGBC
