Guestbook

  1. Betsy and family, I am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of your dear Clayton. In spite of the half-century plus years since I first knew him, I still have fond memories of you both. In fact, around last Thanksgiving, he came to mind and I checked your phone book and even the computer to no avail for your number. Wish now that I had persisted. Hope to later see him on the other side, the good Lord willing. Wish I had magical words to ease your pain at this horrible time, bu from experience, I know there just aren’t any. Take comfort, however, in knowing it will get better – EVENTUALLY. Until such time, you and your family have my warmest heartfelt sympathies. Wiley May.

  2. We have had the pleasure of living next door to Clayton and Betsy for the last 36 years. Clayton was one of the most kind, gentle and loving souls we had ever met. You could just see his whole face light up when he talked about his family and grandchildren. Spot and Oatmeal will surely miss his kind voice and gentle hand. We will miss his smile. With Much Love And Many Happy Memories, Don and Debbie Beardwood

  3. Betsy, please be assured of our thoughts and prayers in your time of grief. Clayton was special from the time I met him when we were still in high school. I talked with him at our class reunion and it was good to renew our acquaintance. God bless you as you walk through this shadow. Doris Jordan Worthington
