Life story

Clifton Mills Brett was a mam full of love and joy. His eyes would light up when he danced or sing and man could he sing. He was such a competitive spirit. He’d talk smack in rummy and get quiet when he was losing. He kept us all laughing and more than anything in this world he loved his beautiful wife, Catherine. The love they had was something you’d see in movies. Everyday he looked his best for her. Despite being in the wheelchair, he’d never let it keep him down. Oh and this man loved a good trip to Walmart. He never knew a stranger and the world feels empty without him.
