Special Tribute to Clifford

OUR MAKER
On the realms of eternal light far beyond the blue
there is a God who is gracious to men patient, tried,
and true on the boundless ocean of though when we
contact his power what a joy and strength is ours every
minute of every hour!
Bless each one to do thy will when the temper comes, 
all shall obtain their just reward when their "works"
on earth is done.

From the book "Gems Of Truth" written by Reverend Mother Celestine Marie Franklin, Clifford's grandmother.
