Cliff use to fix my cars while I was in high school and college. He was gifted as he could fix anything automotive. I always enjoyed his wit and humor. May he rest in peace and condolences to the Shaw family.
So sorry.
My sincere condolences to the Shaw family. May your hearts find comfort and hope in the promises for the future. Revelation 21:3 and 4
