My ganny was such a beautiful person inside and out. She will truly be missed. It is so hard to talk about her knowing I will never see her face again. But I know she is in a better place and God is holding her close. Bigum I love u more then u will ever know. I truly am a better person because of you.... Love your grand daughter Tiffany

Lila & Darryl,
You are in our thoughts and prayers and we will continue to ask God to strengthen and comfort you during this time. Sis. Clayton will be remembered in our hearts. Please find comfort in the scripture, "to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord". She is with the Lord and we rejoice. God bless.

Nature
As a fond mother, when the day is o'er,
Leads by the hand her little child to bed,
Half willing, half reluctant to be led,
And leave his broken playthings on the floor,
Still gazing at them through the open door,
Nor wholly reassured and comforted
By promises of others in their stead,
Which, though more splendid, may not please him more;
So Nature deals with us, and takes away
Our playthings one by one, and by the hand
Leads us to rest so gently, that we go
Scarce knowing if we wish to go or stay,
Being too full of sleep to understand
How far the unknown transcends the what we know.
