He was so giving to me. Took me to all my softball basketball games and picked me up like I was one of his very own children. I am forever grateful for your giving heart to see me grow as an athlete and for believing in me after my injury. You will always remain in my heart for that kindness. And I will always be grateful. Love you. 💕
Clyde Kilby was a devoted husband to his wife of 20 years Joyce Kilby. He had a real love for family and friends. In his final days he was still making sure the children he raised were in place doing the right thing. Logan was to stay home and make sure he took care of his new family. Shavanna he knew she was a blessed child of God and he was happy to go to her house and eat fruit and candy like she left it especially for him. And Jamel he wanted to here him teach Sunday school and be the leader that he was. He got to hear him for a while one Sunday while he was to ill to bless him. Clyde also had a lot of love and respect for his church family Pastor Bryant and Decon Wood he had so much to talk about with them and they brought him plenty of encouragement and made him rest assured he would be with the Lord as he leave his shell here. He loved Jean's cooking him big breakfast and he missed it after Joyce passed. He mentioned Decon Taylor and the Taylor ladies how they were all close. And ever 5th Sunday he would tell me we couldn't miss Shirley or April preaching. And there are many others to many to mention for me to be around and learn. Most of all the outstanding love for his siblings pierce my heart to even talk about. He would call his brother and sister every day 3 or more times a day and tell them how he is doing what he eating and how sick he felt. They shared lots of laughter movies and virtual hunting that big bad bear down there. He would call his brother when he couldn't sleep and he would talk Clyde to sleep. Sometimes his brother and I would get a big laugh. If I say he sleep now Curly,Clyde eyes open back up and start talking till he can no longer hand on. He and his sister were very close. And one thing he told me after the death of his oldest brother. He said it 3 of us now and I'm not going to bury my sister. He couldn't fantom the thoughts of that. Every time she became ill it would break him down. He had so much love for them. And they love him more and they didn't have to say it they knew it. Well this is my best memory of Clyde. Besides him witnessing to me when I first met them. Telling me to get back into Church. And the best thing was he lead me back into church.
Hallelujah God I praise you for this beautiful family. I plee with thee to lighten the heavy yolk of sorrow around our neck. This is a chocking kind of sorrow that won't let the tears stop falling and the pressure off our chest. Jesus help us mend our broken hearts 💕 and stop the rain falling from our eyes and give us the strength to live again.
