I remember fondly Clay and the Weiss family. My dad and I would often go to visit and buy milk or hay or corn. I also remember the help each of our families provided to each other. It was a pleasure to know Clay and he will be missed. I am sorry for your loss and I am remembering you in thoughts and prayers.

My sympathies to your entire family. I could not help but remember the two young "brothers" playing with trains in the basement of the house when we lived there. The family and that particular brother adopted me as an additional sister when Larry died. I will never forget that and am so sorry I do not live close enough to be there for you. I am sure the two "brothers" are catching up in heaven right now. My love to each of you. Bev (Miller) Zanewicz

God had taken you from us too early. You are now working in the fields of heaven for our heavenly father. Watch over all of us farmers until we meet again in heaven. We love you & we will miss you so very much. Rest in peace my friend.
