For some time, I visited Mrs. Clements on a regular basis at Cottonwoods.. I was not personally acquainted with her before that, but stopped by on behalf of the Rutland SDA Church. Unfortunately, I had not been in for some months, but I know that there are family members who are missing a mother, stepmom, grandma, etc. God will walk beside you through this loss, and the memories of happy times in earlier years will comfort and cheer you as time goes on.
