Letter to Dad (10/19/2005)  / Tootie (daughter)
Hey dad I can't believe you've been gone for almost seven months.  It seems sometimes so much longer, but then it seems like your  just gone to the store or piddlin out in the garden.  I guess cause i'm always talkin to ya ..or I'm on the website writing ya.  I just want you to know that I love you so so much and theres never been one single day that i've not thought about you. 
     I know your wondering about mom. Moms doin ok...of course as you can see shes missing you like crazy.  She wants to be with you so much, like the rest of us.  Dad you were a loved man.  We just didnt' realize how lucky we were to have a father like you.  It was so easy took for granted.  You know you always told us kids that we should love one another like theres no tomorrow.....cause we never knew how long we was goin to be here.  Geez is that so true...Cause we love and miss you so much....I just wish there would have been more time with ya dad...but I understand that god had plans for ya and your spreadin your wings and soaring high with the other angels up there heaven Theres so many things that I see that reminds me of you ..
I'll be sittin at the dining room table and watch the birds eating..... I think about you when you use to sit there and watch them...I drive by and see some sunflowers and think of the way you use to grow sunflowers as tall as the house.  Sometimes Ill just sit in the chair and gaze out the window and remember of how you loved to be outdoors ...You know dad it was really hard when god took you, I was confused why god took you ...you didn't bother anyone ...you weren't a mean man...but then I realized that he didn't take you for those reasons ..he took you cause you were such a wonderful husband, father , friend, and person that god felt you shouldn't be in anymore pain than you already have been in and this is only a temporary setback for someday I will be with you again dad....  until then I'm lovin and missin you so very much..and when i walk thru those beautiful pearly gates I'm goin to give you a big hug and kiss cause dad I love you so much and I always will
Love always

Grandpa / Tina Wood (Granddaughter)
My grandpa Clifton posey will always be the man I looked up to. He was always there for me when I needed someone to talk to or even to just sit with. I could have the what seemed like one of the worst days of my life, until I went to this house and sat with him and  I knew everything would get better and be alright.He had that kind of impact. He didn't even have to say anything. I enjoyed the days I did have with him. I will never forget his laugh, his stories, and just him his self. I miss him so much and I forever will. I know in my heart he is always there. Knowing that makes me feel so much better. Close

Clifton was one of the greatest man I ever knew  / Angel Johnson (Friend)
Clifton and my grandfather were best friends growing up in East Columbus.  My grandfather has always told me stories of what a fair, good hearted man Cliff was but he would also be the first to tell you how strong Cliff was and that you better never mess with Cliff's family or any one he cared about.  Because of the friendship they started all those years ago I was blessed enough to meet my life long best friend Annie.  We have been friends for 24 years now.  Cliff always welcomed me into his home and his family.  He always had a smile and a funny story to tell.  I use to love sitting at the dinning room table and talking with him.  He would always want to feed anyone who walked in the door as soon as they walked in they were apart of the family.  His stories were always filled with words like hoss, He had his own way of saying things that I will never forget.  He was someone I will always look up to because he was not only my grandfathers best friend, My best friends father, but in many ways I looked to him as a father too.  There will never be another one like him we were all blessed and lucky to have had him in our lives.  I love Clifton, I miss Clifton, and I will never forget Clifton.    Close
