Mrs. Claytor a very dear friend of ours, will be greatly missed and missed by all of those to whom know her. She was a strong woman and could do anything she set her mind to do. With all the health issues she was given she never gave up and told us that she was not going to let herself down. SHE STUCK TO THAT. We will miss you.

Mrs Claytor was such a warm loving person. She was my Tops Director. She was always kind to me and my family. I always felt welcome. She will be missed greatly but I believe she is at peace with our heavenly father.My prayers are with the family.
