"Well done. Good and faithful servant." Papa Claiborne you were always so gentle and loved Jesus. I won't ever forget spending time with you and Mama Claiborne in AZ and meeting my daughter, Jenae your birthday twin. I love you.
I remember the large lemons he grew in Arizona. Got to try real lemonade. Thank you Aunt Thelma for great time in Arizona.
Remember the fun and joy shared with all who knew Bro. Claiborne.
Rest in the arms of Jesus. You will truly be missed. See You when I get Home. Thanks the Torch has been passed.
