My sincere condolences. I regret that I never got down to Vero Beach to visit you and Cletus. Had no idea he was so sick. I am so sorry. Enjoyed talking with Cletus. He was very nice and always a gentleman. If there is anything I can do for you, let me know.

Thinking of you and the family during this difficult time. During part of my summer job at REA, Cletus was my “ride” to the job in St. Louis. We had many opportunities to visit during those rides into and out of the city. My thanks to him for being there when I needed transportation to work. Our condolences and deepest sympathies. May he rest in peace.

Mona:
It was such a true pleasure to meet you both this past summer and enjoy the week of softball and stories with him! He was truly a delight to be around and brought some cheer to me and Mckenzie during our loss of my husband and I can only hope to send you back some of the love he gave to us in our time of need. You are special to us and I hope to finally get in that lunch date next time I’m in Vero. Until then know that you and the family are in our thoughts and prayers and sending you much love ❤️
