I grew up as a young boy, next door to the Clairday family. Mrs. Clairday's youngest son Scotty was my best friend, Mrs. Clairday was the sweetest mother, grandmother and great grandmother and was just one of the all time sweetest people this old world has ever known, she sure made this world a better place. I know her family and friends will greatly miss this very kind and loving woman, One thing I know for sure heaven is rejoicing and heavens bells are ringing for this beautiful angel that's in heaven. My Love and Prayers goes out to the Clairday family. May God give all the family strength comfort and peace. May God Bless this loving family.
Love Mike and Tina Wages
