    I am so sorry Lisa, Josh, Stormi and Roy- I will always cherish the many memories of us staying up really late and playing card and having supper together. Ben will miss his many conversations with him and talking about lawnmowers when Clay would stop by the shop. Clay was bigger than life and never knew a stranger……COME ON!!

    I lived beside your mom for 40 years before she passed in January. U were young when we moved there. I watched u grow up though the good times and bad times. You grew up to be the most caring and good friend to us. U always wanted to help in anyway u could. You enjoyed life and especially your family. They were your life. It has been so hard that I don’t hear your car coming down our rd. We would always say THERE COMES CLAY . It hurts very deeply .My daughter passed away Thanksgiving she grew up with you. I feel I have lost a daughter and a son. You will so missed but no more pain. RIP
