"Donna -- I only learned of Cliff's passing last week-end from Brenda (Jenna's mother). I was so saddened to hear the news and send my sincerest condolences. I know what you are going through and wish I could offer some comfort. Even though it has been almost a year since Bruce's passing, the feeling of loss has not diminished. Cliff had a wonderful smile, and I will always remember him most from the cardboard boat race that he and Bruce entered with Jim Gillfillian. So funny. I will remember him fondly."
In loving memory of
Clifford Cleveland Waggoner

"My heart goes out to Donna and Cliff's family. My best memory is Cliff could light up a room with his smile."
"Cliff and I worked together for many years at Multimedia and then Cox until 12 years ago. He was a valued colleague and a good friend. I hope he had a fraction of the respect for me that I had for him. Donna and children, I am so sorry about Cliff's passing. Know that he has been in my prayers and that you will continue to be in my thoughts. "
