Wayne and I found out late that Clayton had passed. He was such a nice man and was always cheerful whenever we saw him. The humor that your family shared was very special between parents and children. Please call on us if there is ever anything we can do for you and your family.
May God give you strength and watch over you.

Virginia Rae, Richard, Marvin,& Joe Michelle, words can not express the sorrow that you must be feeling. Clayton was one of the most graceous, hard working family man I ever knew. His kindness to others will never be forgotten (I know I will never forget how he was there for Dad and I during our hard times.) He never complain about anything and if he could lend a helping hand he was there. Just take comfort in knowing that he feels no more pain and he is indeed in heaven. All of you are in my thoughts and prayers. Love to all of you.
