Was so sorry to hear of your loss. Life is too short sometime, but God needed another angel in heaven. May he grant you peace knowing that Clayton is with him there.

Clay Smith, what can I say? We had one heck of a journey together, one I will never forget. My heart go out to you, Julie, and your children. God has a reason for everyone of this Earth. Apparently he had better plans for you. God bless you and your family.
