Errol Milner Clifford 2006-2009

Errol Milner Clifford was born with a significant heart defect and a cognitive disability that prevented him from walking or talking. As we grieved the child we had anticipated, Errol’s full-bodied smile and irrepressible laugh turned our sorrow into joy, and taught us that many of the best things in life are unexpected. Inspired by Errol’s delightful spirit, friends, family, and neighbors rallied to support our family’s significant emotional, physical, and financial needs, through countless acts of selfless generosity. When Errol’s courageous heart finally failed him on December 23, 2009 we were left numb with grief. In these dark hours we listen hopefully for the echoes of Errol’s brilliant laugh. This blog is the story (starting from present and working back to Errol's birth) of the life and times of the amazing Errol Clifford.

Number One Baby


Errol has a favorite new habit. He holds his right hand in the air as if to say "Number One!!!!" Whenever our little champ sticks his finger up we start to chant, "We're number one, we're number one!" It just eggs him on. Here he is after the big victory!

Hi Jonathan and Cary,
I am very impressed with your webpage. I met Cary today at Lora's wonderful playdate event. Our son, Victor, has just started at the Children's Center. I really enjoyed meeting most of your family, and we would love to have the same group (from the playdate) to our house, with all the big guys too. We have started a webpage for Victor on a site called Caring Bridge. You can access his page by entering his name with no caps or spaces: victorpauca
Our emails are on the website. Errol is just adorable-- looks like Victor may have a new friend!
Talk to you soon, Theresa and Paul Pauca
