Mrs. Clay has always been a wonderful part of Jim’s and my life. Not a time would go by when we saw her out that she would ask about Ryan and later on Ryan and his family. As a new mom at the time when I left Ryan at the daycare , I felt the love that she shared with the other children and mine too. God bless all of you. Heaven has a beautiful soul . ????
