I am sorry for your loss. It is not natural for a child to go first. Please accept my sincere condolences.

Clay was in my Sunday School class at Colbert FBC during his teen years and off and on at other times. Sweet, mannerly, and easy to love, I considered us friends.
As I watched him over the years, in good times and bad, he always had a smile and a hug.
I mourn for your loss because l care for all of the rest of the family as well.
Let us all remember the good times with Clay, as over time, the loss of his presence here hurts less.
Love to you all,
Julie Copley

A life cut too short. I am sorry for the sadness this loss brings to many. It's a time to forget any troubled times and remember and charish all good times. When I think of Clay I see a big smile and a young man exercising kindness and lovingness toward others and manors that would make any parent or grand parent proud. A child raised well, finding peace in the next order with God . God, who said, Come Home sooner than we would have chosen.
