Hey, Grandpa Cliff, I just wanted to come here and say that I'm honored to be your grandson, that all of us are highly respective of you, and that we miss you. Hope you are in peace and that we can meet someday for the first time. Your sons Cory and Howard are doing great in life, and I know that you would be so proud of them. Your wife, and my grandmother, Rose Scott, misses you so much and loves you beyond my comprehension. I hope you can see these words up there. Thank you for being the bravest, most selfless person I will ever know of.
