Good morning family. I used to sit next to Clay in the mornings at Riddle on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturdays. He used to talk about his family all the time especially the grandson who kept him busy with his sports. Keeping you all in prayer during this time.

Mrs. Henderson, Megan and family,
Thinking of you at this difficult time. Clay was the best start to my Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday mornings. We teased each other and laughed, his kindness brought me comfort as he was like family- kind and caring. We talked about his love for his family, the joy watching the boys growing up and watching Megan as a Mom- he was more than my patient he was my friend and I already miss him. Wishing I could have been there to celebrate his remarkable life with you and give you a hug.
