I remember Mrs.Clay as my 5th grade teacher at Monterey Elementary. A woman I learned more about life from than 5th grade science, and a woman who I never saw in the same outfit twice. She is definitely unforgettable. For her husband, Sam, she talked about you often; I send my prayers your way and assure you she's waiting on the other side.

Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal, soon and very soon we all are going to see King Jesus. Classy and very well spoken person for the few times I met her. I remember Thanksgiving at my mother in law Pat Clay house Nov 2010 and we talked like we new each other for years. My sympathy and condolences to the family during your loss.
