Little Rock, AR Saturday, January 17, 2015 I want the family of Mr. Clemon Avery to know that you all have my heartfelt sympathy. I will always cherish the memories that I have gathered with Clem over the past 45 years. Growing up we didn't have much in material things, but Clem made up for that when he got grown. He loved his suits and he love his church family. Once his health began to fail him and he was unable to attend our class reunions, he always called to get a play by by on who was there and what we did. Clem, you have joined an elite group of classmates that have gone on before you. You can run again because you have a brand new body.Until we meet again, may you RIP
