To the Davis family from the Parham family. Deepest sympathy.

The memory I have of Mr Clyde that will last me forever is when me and Mandel used to catch the bus for school in the morning, Mrs. Joanne used to sneak me some sausage she used to cook in the morning for Kim and Mandel, and when Mr. Clyde found out, he caught me leaving the house one morning, and he told me to leave his sausage alone, and we laughed so hard lol. I'll never forget that and I'll never forget him. Take your rest sir.

The last memory I have of Clyde is singing in the Male choir at the church and i gave him a song to lead He Did IT!! and Joanne told me I got him thinking He's Harvey Watkins but he was so proud of himself leading that song!!! Rest On My Cousin....

Sending much love to my family during the time. Trina

The last memory I will hold to my heart is talking and laughing it with you on Christyan's 14th birthday. Your smile will stay embedded in my heart. Sweet memories.....
