Mr. and Mrs. Cunningham,
My heart breaks for you as one of life's treasures has moved on to a greater reward. Clay was a treasure to have in my class at Alabama School for the Blind and I have loving and special memories of him as a young boy. He loved music. It was obviously evident when he was in class, especially with that beautiful little smile when he performed on the drums. That was one of his favorite activities and he didn't hesitate letting me know it. Thank you so much for sharing him. As you and your family are struggling with the loss, I do truly hope your memories of Clay will be of some comfort to you and your family. He was a special little boy and I can see by the picture that he grew into a handsome young man.

Both you and your children are in my heart with sincere sympathy, sadness, and prayers. May God hold you close.
