We missed you this Christmas, and all the laughter you brought us girls , Merry Christmas Pops 🎄😂
Sending love and prayers - Clay was always so kind and will be missed
We are sorry for your loss. Clay touched so many lives.
Martha, Beth, Rusty and Rich, Please accept my deepest sympathies on the loss of your husband/father. He was a wonderful person, always quick with a smile or kind word. I know he will be missed by so many.
Tom pointed out to me yesterday that Clay was one pharmacist with one employee to assist with drop offs & pickups and any other duties. He was timely but not rushed. He was personal and informative about anything you might need to know concerning new scripts. He had a sizable business and fully capable of taking care of his clients. It was a pleasure knowing him. May Gods love and peace surround all his family and close friends.
Martha, Beth, Rusty, and Rich,
I am so very sad to hear of this news. Your family had such an impact on the path of my life. Your family was instrumental in shaping my life from the time I was a teenager to now. I think of you frequently and wonder how you are doing. May God give your hearts strength every day of your life and especially as you grieve. You all have so many special memories of times spent together. I hope they will help bring you peace and comfort.
So sorry. We are thinking of you all.
We're Praying for you all during this difficult time. We think about you guys often and the memories we hold dear.
Love always,
Stacey Graves Niemeyer and family.
Our deepest sympathy and condolences to Martha, Beth and family. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely,
Jerry and Marian Whitson
I was so sad to hear of Clay's passing. My brother Carl worked for George Tedford and Clay at the pharmacy. I babysat and helped when you were expecting Rusty. We all attended First Baptist Church which was a family itself. I remember those days fondly and thank you for the friendship and opportunities you and Clay gave our family. You will be in my prayers.
