Ella, we don't need to tell you how wonderful Clayton was or what a difference he made in so many lives. You know more than any of us. He truly changed the world one child at a time. How lucky we have been to know you both. We're in Oklahoma for the summer, but send our love. Dianne and Jim Braden

Hi Ella & Family: We send our deepest sympathy on your loss. Clayton was a good man who helped so many young boys during his Scoutmaster service at Mount Calvary Lutheran Church. He was also a good friend to the Fitch Family. We are sorry that we will be unable to attend the memorial service, because we have committments in Prescott. However, you are all in our thoughts and prayers. God Bless and take care. Don & Dorothy Fitch.
