A Tribute to Little Clint
No words we write could ever say How sad and empty we feel today.
The Angels came for you Much sooner than we planned A thousand words won't bring you back We know because we've tried Neither will a thousand tears We know because we've cried In everything we have gone through, We know that we were blessed No matter what the circumstance,
You were the very best! So go and rest in peace now,
Our Son So Dear For all our love and memories
We will hold forever near Love,
Mom and Dad
Dearest Brother
You are the one who bears the sweetest name. We remember you before you came
From the hospital, to the house, to the church, to school, To the playground, to the skating rink, to CYF, to the pool.
You shared your laughter with us and made us smile. We know that we will see you again, But in the meanwhile, Watch over us and keep us strong, Help us to never do any wrong. Clint, you were our brother and friend. We will love you always, without end Always and Forever,
Kim, Kathy, Kysha, Walidah, and Trek
Dearest Uncle
Words can't express the pain we feel inside our hearts. We never thought the day would come when we would be without you, although we know you're in a much better place now it's still hard to accept. We can still hear your humorous jokes, brilliant answers to the most complicated math problems, feel your big bear hugs! You shared words of wisdom and were always ready to share whatever you had even the clothes on your back. The day you went to heaven you took pieces of our hearts. We hope God is enjoying your company. We love you
so very much! Always your nieces and nephews, Morgan, Michael, Mikala,
Miah, Joshua, Christian, Kingsley, and Camille.

Poem/
It is healthy and honorable to weep at the loss o fsomeone we love. Healthy because such passion must be released. Honorable because it is respectful to admit the importance o fpeople who have loved and supported us,,, people whosefootprints cannot ever be matched.
- Maya Angelou
It is with a humble heart that we the family of Clinton Walker, Jr., thank each of you. Words cannot express the love, care and support that you have showered upon us. May you continue to remember and keep us in your prayers. May God continue to shine His richest blessings on each of you.
-The Family
