Iam so deeply sorry for the loss of cousin Clayton. Wishing his family my condolences. Hoping he has found peace.
My best friend throughout my adult years. We were both friends and businessman. Clayton was more than a friend. I only wish I could see him one last time. My heart is broken as I wish I could have seen him one last time. As Clayton said to me. “You’ve been a good friend and I will see you on the next life.
Clayton was a stand up guy. I drove his cab during night shift while he drove days. A well mannered and a very diligent man. He was much like a big brother to me, and for that, I shall always remain grateful.
