If you see this, I assume that you may not know who I am. My name is Megan. Cliff and I were close friends. I didn’t learn about his passing until about a month after the fact when I was in town and went by his house. I somehow knew he was gone before I even contacted any of our mutual friends but I needed to hear it. It broke my heart truly but knowing he’s no longer hurting is a comfort to me. He was always there for me no matter what, kind, sweet, generous, gentle, loving, and protective of me. He called me little sister and I’ll never forget how many times he went out of his way to just make sure I was okay. A few years ago after a particularly rough day, i had gone home with a promise to call him and let him know I was there and okay. I fell asleep before I made that call and this man walked to my house just to make sure I was there and ok, that no one had hurt me or whatever he was worried about. He didn’t knock on my door and wake me up. No. He had his boss just pick him up for work from there and then didn’t tell me anything about it until weeks later! We’ve drifted apart and back together many times in the years since we met but he’s always been a good friend to me. Last summer we were sitting in my car after going to the store and talking. He looked at me and he said, “You know you’re my best friend these days.” I laughed and said right back at ya old man. He and Kay have always been welcoming no matter what was going on in their life at the time. I never felt unwanted around them. I’m truly sorry that I didn’t get to meet anyone in his family or make it to his service. I’m so sorry for your loss as well. But I hope that maybe sharing this with you will bring a smile to your faces as you think of him. I’m adding a link to a song that just happened to be on my playlist one day as we were going somewhere together and he instantly loved it and it fits Cliff without a doubt. If you know him, then you’ll know and understand. Rest in peace, brother! I miss you so much and can’t believe the one I swore would live forever is gone. All my love! -Megan Reel https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=9ufZraTmsNQ&feature=share
Joe and I were neighbors to Cliff for over 20 years. He was a kind, quiet person. If he saw Joe up on the ladder cutting tree limbs he would just walk over and hold the ladder. Afterwards he would help Joe haul them to the burn pile. Just a couple of weeks prior to his death, he cleared the fence line in front of his house so he could see out over the pasture. His back hurt; therefore, he would cut a while and rest in the swing. We will certainly miss him swinging and giving a gentle wave.

Not in the way we intended, but God sent His Angels to call him home. Our thoughts and prayers are for you dear family. This loss is great! Take this time to praise the One who formed Clifton in the womb and formed him into the unique man be became. Lord, thank you for the life of Clifton Musselwhite. He taught us so much!
