Covenant News Service will publish additional information as it becomes available.
I was privileged to know Cliff, June and Scott when I was youth Pastor at the church they attended (Northbrook). God’s peace to their memory and to those who loved them.
June has been a dear friend ever since Cliff was the pastor at Edgebrook Covenant Church. We shared much when I was Christian Ed Worker in the 1950’s, and I was in their home often. My loving sympathy to Sally and others who were close to June.
June was a lovely woman and faithful servant of Christ. Her faithful dedication to son Scott was an example for all.
