IN MEMORIAMIn memory of our dad and

husband,Hassan Clevenger,

at Christmas TimeDad was here but He went

away to a better land and abrighter day. Many years havepassed and gone, but memories ofhim still linger on. He workedvery hard for the ones he loved.His strength and faith came fromthe Lord above. He kept pressingon when he was down a bit.Though tired he was he didn’tquit. When money was low andprices were high he would smileand say “we will get by.” He wasa good man with a gentle touch.If one asked a little he gave themmuch. Through sickness and painhe never gave up. He was seek-ing and found the victor’s cup.
