    Dear Cynthia,
    Clayton had a smile that was infectious. When he would walk through our sixth grade Sunday school class the room was instantly brighter. He had a sweet spirit and a kind heart. Along with many others, we will miss him. We are looking forward to seeing him again in eternity.
    May Jesus wrap His arms around you and give you comfort.

    Dear Cynthia,
    Clayton was always wearing that sweet smile. He easily brightened the sixth grade Sunday school room when he walked through the door. He had a sweet spirit and a kind heart. Along with so many others, we will miss him. We are looking forward to seeing him again in eternity.
    May Jesus wrap His arms around you and give you comfort.
