Mr. & Mrs. Clay, Michele and Family,

Our sincere condolences to you and the families.
This is way to early, may he rest in peace. He is now in the hands of the big guy upstairs doing his work, and a much better place we can only imagine.
Never forget the summer painting days (John, Marly, Clem and Ed) with Mike and I being labeled the "gophers". MP

Words can't even express the sorrow we feel. We are heartbroken. "Clay" was one of our dearest friends. The memories of us all together will last forever with great joy.

He will always be with you and ALWAYS be lovingly remembered. What an awesome guy!

Mr. and Mrs. Clay: I didn't know your son, as I graduated long before him (Class of '73), and I can't imagine the pain of losing him at such a young age. I hope that your memories, and his precious family, will help you through this incredibly difficult time. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Mr. & Mrs. Clay,
This shouldn't have happened. There are not any words that I or anyone can say to console you. But, it may help to know that you are in the thoughts and prayers of many here in the Mars Area and elsewhere. We all care about your family and it saddens our hearts to know that Mike has gone on to be with Kathy. Both too soon. May you find comfort in family and friends and strength in faith.
Take care and God Bless the both of you,
Kim and Bob Geyer and Family

I am so sorry for your family. No one can fully understand what your loss feels like unless they have experienced such a loss. No words can make it easier but I do know that the love you share with your family and friends will get you through this very hard time. I cannot imagine the pain of losing a child or a child losing their father. I do know that the loving memories that were shared will help with the pain as time goes by. My heart and prayers go out to each you at this difficult time. Hold onto each other tightly and always treasure this precious time together
