We live in Canada and I would like to send our condolences to the family of Clifford Thurlow. My granddad William (Bill) Thurlow was the first cousin of Clifford. I am not sure if they met, the families lost touch with each other years back, but we are still part of the family. We all know how hard it is to lose a loved one and want to say how sorry we are for your loss. Take care and may time heal your broken hearts.

Message: First, to Owen and Tom my condolences to the lost of Clifford. I have often thought of the times Owen and Clifford had Mike and I help with things that needed to get done. I still use Clifford's analogy of his yard when it came to mowing, being a 6 or 12 pack yard. Clifford had a unique wit that you come to appreciate over time.
Second my condolences to the rest of the family members.
