Dear Nellie and family, I am so sorry for your loss of Clyde. I loved both of you.
From day one when I first met the two of you when Shawn and Renee married I knew that God had sent a wonderful family for Renee to marry into. All of us have been so blessed all of these years.
Always remember that God loves you and so do I.
Love, Brenda Golden Spinks
Dear Nellie and family, I am so sorry for your loss of Clyde. I remember the first time we met and how proud I was for Renee to marry into such a wonderful family as yours. God sent Renee the perfect husband.
You will be blessed for years to come with all of the wonderful memories the two of you shared. To know that you had a loving marriage of 60 years, it
is a great showing of what love and devotion can do for a happy couple.
Always remember that I love you and know that I am only a phone call away.

Me and Clyde played a lot of golf together, he was a very good player and had a lot of holes in one, I was with him when he made a couple of them. I’ll always remember him for being a good husband to his wife Nellie and a friend to me. I hope to see him again in heaven. Andy Anderson

Sweet Nellie, I am so sorry for your loss. I adored Clyde and was so glad to get to see you both not too long ago. I don’t know If you know this, but he saved me from a seriously crazy old architect and taught me all about plumbing engineering. He was respectful, helpful and hilarious and I adored him.

Nellie, our prayers continue for you and family. So good talking to you today. I know you are a strong person because of your love for God. Faye and I will always remember the great times we had with you and Clyde in Nashville, Panama City and Meridian. I still have golf balls and golf shirts that he gave me.
