Clarence, you will never be forgotten. Not by me. Your sweet story made me cry. Thank God you lived out the two years you were granted with Walter, Ian, and Roscoe, even though you ganged up on him, gave him heck, you finally accepted him, and learned from him. Now you are Home, at Rainbow Bridge, playing with other 'like minded' turkeys. Rest In Peace, sweet Clarence. Thnx for the wonderful post Cher.
