To the Clay family and friends, I am so sorry for our loss. Blessed are they that mourn for they shall be comforted. As our hearts are hurting let Father God sooth them. As we wonder what and why, only the Father has those answers and much more. Remember family that grief never ends but it changes. It's a passage not a place to stay. Grief is not a sign of weakness, not a lack of faith but it is the price of love. May God bless and keep all of us is my prayer. From Clara "Curtis" Young and Frank Young.
