    Our Condolences to the Morrison Family. Cliff was always there for you. Anytime that I would help my Parents with something for the Food Pantry Cliff was already there, ready to help. As I remember growing up in the Church if Cliff was involved things got done. He will be missed by many.

    To Cliffs family, I am so very sorry for the loss of Cliff. I knew him for many years from the church and from volunteering at the food pantry. He was a kind and good man. I feel terrible that I had been told his visiting hours were tonight and then I looked on here and see they were last night. I so had wanted to pay my respects to this wonderful guy. Please accept my condolences and I will say a prayer tonight for Cliff to let him know that he will be greatly missed. Sincerely, Lori Soper

    Mere condolences are not enough to say farewell to my beloved uncle Cliff.He was kind and loving and no matter what his life dealt him he always had time to care for others.My father always teased him about politics mostly,but I knew what he meant to my dad.Hearing the news yesterday brought back so many memories of the times we had.I have the same feelings that I had when my dad passed away,and that is that he is now with his beloved wife,my aunt Dru.Gone from us now is the gentle giant I remember with love.Heaven is a better place.
