Dear Claybrook family,
I've known your Dad, Grandad for 36 years and can't remember a time that he was not a real example of what a Christian should be. I believe we are better people for knowing him. May God bless and comfort your hearts.

You was a man a of few words.

You was a humble man and very sweet.

You was a a man who everyone respected.

You was a hard working man.

You was a man dedicated to Church and family.

You was a man we all loved.

You are my Pa and I love you and miss you and I know you are in Heaven with all the loved ones who have gone on before and give them all a kiss from us.

LOVE YOUR GRANDSON
Macon Benjamin Claybrook.

Pa Bill is going Home.
Granny Nora is getting ready for PaPa today. She has taken over heaven's kitchen to prepare a special meal in her own way. She went to heaven's garden to pick his favorite things. I know there will be corn, fried apples, and green beans. She has been waiting for Pa Pa ever since she left. She didnot want him to hurry because of family here. Because to both of them family is so dear. She's waiting to take his hand when he comes through those heavenly gates. To take him to his party where the rest of his family awaits! Rest in Peace Pa Bill. Your grandson Michael Claybrook.

My Pa Bill,
I remember my Pa Bill as a very special person. I remember when I was young how I would help him and granny in the fields. We would pick up potatoes, pick corn and in the summer we would mow the cemetary. I love and cherish the memories that I have of my pa. I also remember how he lived faithfully to the Lord. And how he lived as an example for all of us to follow my pa Bill was faithful to the church. He was there for every service. Yes when I think of my Pa Bill I have precious memories of him. But now My Pa Bill is in heaven with Jesus Christ our Lord. Because he fought the good fight. And he remained faithful until the end. I love you Pa Bill and Granny Nora. Enjoy your reward in heaven. And we will see you soon! With Love, Your grandson,
Matthew Claybrook
