Dear Kathy and family,
We were shocked and truly saddened to hear of Tim's tragic accident. I (Terri) knew Reno and Tim's mom, Catherine, and they were such special people. Sadly, we all lost touch with our Claggett family after Reno, Gary's dad - Ernest and Clyde died. I do lots of genealogy and feel like I know you and the family, but it's only with pictures and a few family stories. I just wanted you all to know that I pray that God will wrap His loving, healing arms around you and your family to give you comfort during this extremely difficult time. Sending all our love, thoughts and prayers! Love you, Terri, Gary, Lindsay Claggett and CaseyAnn (Claggett), Brad and Kiley Ann Wallover and Gary's mom, Lura Lamont

We are so sorry to hear about Tim. We met through our children. Our daughter Carly and your wonderful sons Sam and Joseph. We all went downtown to take pictures for prom then out to dinner afterward. Even though it was the only time we spent together, we had a good time and knew right away what great people you were. Our prayers are with your whole family.

Tim Claggett's smile said it all: behind it was a positive, intelligent, humorous and loving person who shared all his gifts with everyone, everywhere. Boy and man, he was true to himself and to those around him. He will be painfully missed, but the strength of his personality will shine on. I give thanks for having known Tim Claggett.
