Not sure what to say?

Dear Linda, I am so very sorry to learn of the passing of Clayton. I first met you and Clayton through my dad (Bill Mitchell). You all had the love of Sullivan County. I remember seeing you and Clayton riding your horses as we drove past to my dad’s house since you were practically neighbors.

With my deepest sympathy, Gail Griffo.
