To Glen Dalrymple Indiana:
My thoughts are with you and your extended family Glen.

I had the distinct pleasure of spending just a small amount of time with Clyde, his wife Beverly, and Clyde’s sister, Erma and her family. The fondness Erma and Clyde shared; the mutual love ans respect resonated from them both. It was a true delight to listen to their stories of their lives as children. Additionally, the love and respect between Clyde and Beverly was palpable. I truly feel honored to have had that time with Clyde. He was a gentle man.
To the family:
We met Clyde twenty years ago when he and Bev married. They came to the Midwest to meet family and friends. We were so delighted to know that Beverly’s husband was such a wonderful, kind man of integrity and compassion. Through the years we could see that Bev brought her happy enthusiams and interests to his life,and he brought his steadfast love and quiet strength to her life. They complimented each others hopes and dreams. We will remember Clyde with great fondness and cherish our memories of times together. With our sympathy and love.
