Prayers & Condolences For:
Clifford V. Gadsden
BY Anonymous on Jul 10, 2005 | |  | CC,
My heart remains heavy and the tears still flow. Sometimes when I think of the laughs we've shared, I feel even worse-thinking that time and terror has cheated us. I remember watching from my office window the plane hit the Trade Center. I remember thinking that I was going to die. You fought so that I can continue to live. I am forever in your debt and will forever honor you with peace. CC, I miss you so much. I miss just being able to reach out with hope and love and anticipation of your safe return….
I love you.
Dee
PS: you’ve gone from “my knucklehead” to being “my guardian angel."
