All our love,
Cindy, Jim and Jimmy
of you, your grandpa and family. I remember the first time I saw you was at the ranch and you had all that curly hair....so cute. Thinking of
you and the light you brought to this world. Miss you Cliff.....
Thinking of you today. I recently went through all our family photos, and dug up some more of you. I'll try to get them uploaded tonight. Say hi to my Dad for me! Thank you for welcoming him.
Love you and miss you.
I came across this picture of you and I with Caitlin at Disneyworld. We were showing off our fake tattoos to the camera. Made me smile. Can't wait to see you again. Love you, Cassie
What a joy watching grow from a toddler, to a "twirp", teenager, and then the fine young man you were. Our thoughts of you are all good on this your birthday. Miss you.
Uncle Mel and Elaine
We got you a card and wrote " In Heaven" for your address. They told me at the post office that it didn't even need a stamp. I have no doubt that you've already received it. God bless the Bensons!
We wish you Happy 27th Birthday. We miss your big smile and your subtle laugh. Keep the lights on, and a log on the fire for us. We'll see you again at the appointed time.
Our love
Craig & Lorraine
you were here to celebrate this holiday season. You are missed by us all.
It's great to know you get to celebrate the birth of Jesus in Heaven !
Save us a spot close by. Lord willing we will find you when our it's our time to transcend up to where you are. Spending eternity in Heaven is great I hear! We love ya!
We thank thee Heavenly Father for all thy blessings and love you have always given us. We beseech you oh Lord that Cliff, John and Cindy will be rejoined in Heaven for ETERNITY. We ask this in the name of your only son, Jesus, who suffered and died on the cross so that we may be saved. We thank thee Oh Lord in Jesus' name, amen.
We are thinking about you and miss you. Thank you for the sunshine you have brought into our lives.
Love, Craig & Lorraine
for that. I see that smile in my memory often.
Happy (belated) Birthday! I was thinking today, I have never met another Clifford. It suits you because you were one of a kind! I'm happy to know all your birthday wishes came true in heaven. Love you!
We'll all get together when we get there, God willing.
God saw fit to bring us snow on your birthday. While it is beautiful, quiet and peaceful, it doesn't compare to the warmth, beauty, and peace you enjoy in heaven. We miss you and look forward to big hugs when we meet again.
Miss you, uncle Barry
All our love, Joyce, Cliff, Mike & Chris

I was about 13 and Cliff was 11. My family and I were planning a trip down to California to visit John, Cindy and Cliff. A few weeks before we arrived, Cliff wrote me the sweetest letter. He said he was looking forward to us coming and couldn't wait for us to get there. I always remembered that! 11 years old and already beaming with love and kindness. Thanks for the letter, Cliff. XO

Hey Cliff, Happy New Year son, I remember when your Mom was pregnant I was thinking maybe you might be born on my birthday January 20th, we were close you were born on the 18th. What a great day and the 49ers won the superbowl that year, we watched the game together, you had your little 49er shirt on and I had to prop you up on the couch because you kept falling over. You were my little 49er buddy . you were all I ever needed. Life seemed so simple that day.I will think of you with fondness and love all the days of my life...Dad
Longing
John,
This is nice that you created this site for Cliff and those who loved him and still love you. I know your heart aches and the unanswered questions just make it that much more painful. Just remember that what we see, understand and feel is temporary, the unseen is eternal. That means that you and I respond to what we can get our minds around, but the unseen is really the relaity. God is love and full of mercy and in time, the right time, He will let you in on his eternal plan and purpose for all the sorrow and longing you have encountered.
In the meantime, enjoy His love. Walk with Him and follow Him. He knows where the road bends and turns. Remember, he'll never leave you, he'll always guide, guard and protect you and lead you to that peace that passes all understanding. Keep and your eyes on Jesus, He has his eye on you. It won't be too long....and you suddenly understand.
Always, Cheryl
