  • When I found out Dr. Cleveland had passed I had 2 very distinct emotions. I was very sad that such an amazing man had passed on but also I was happy that he didnt have to spend to long without Mary. I know they are very happy spending eternity together. Dr. Cleveland, in the short time I knew him made a huge impact on me and I am very sorry for your entire family. - Posted by: Kristyn Francis (Friend) on: Feb 19, 2005
