Clay, The abundance of love for you and support for you and your family during this time demonstrates the caliber of man you were. Your passing is encouraging us to be better people. Thank you for being the son, brother, friend, and man you were. You will always be missed. To his family, I am praying for strength and peace in this difficult time. "My God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation. He is my stronghold, my refuge and my savior"- 2 Samuel 22:3

Clay you were one of the funniest guys I've ever met. You lifted many of us when we were down. Very few have had the honor of knowing you and serving with you. You will be missed.

Peggy, Craig, and Family...I cannot say how sorry I am. This is a devastating and sad situation. A mother's love for her child will last long after this world is gone. I pray that God gives you comfort and peace through this time and always. I love you all.

There must be some grand plan going on because, God has been calling on his angels. There is no doubt in my head that you are up there with James, looking down and over all your Family and Friends. May your soul rest up there in peace Clay! Keep those smiles up because you my friend, had the greatest.
