I have some wonderful childhood memories of growing up with Clayton, Alice and Kathy as my neighbors on Edgewood Road. Your famliy will always hold a special place in my heart.
My prayers are with you during this time.
I know Clayton is all smiles in his new home in glory.
God Bless
Dear Alice and Kathy,
My memories are many of my younger years knowing all of you. My prayers are with you both but I know that heaven is a much happier place with Clayton’s wonderful smile and sense of humor.
May God continue to bless you and give you peace in the upcoming days.

Arletta, Gedwin, Dean, and all your family, our prayers are with you. May God bless all of you.
Alice and family, we know when our earthly work is done, God will call us home. You and Clayton were pillars of strength to our family, and we love you. I pray that you will feel the loving arms of God around you during this time of bereavement, He will never fail you. Bonnie and Sheila
The Apostle John often refered to himself as ‘the disciple whom Jesus loved’, a statement that is true for all of us. However, Christ wants to know who we love. He said: ‘they will know your my disciple by the love you have one for another.’ I’m glad to say I was a disciple Clayton and Alice love. They demonstrated love to me and I wanted to do the same for them.
Clayton has always been fun and receptive to my joking around and very encouraging to me as a young preacher. I will miss his humor and encouaging smile.
Alice; I pray God will comfort you in this time and encouage you as you continue the journey without your ‘better half’!
With tears of joy for your friendship and a heart full of sorrow for our loss, I encouage you in the love of Christ to be ever hopeful and mindful of God’s promises in your hour of need.
I Love You
