Sadly, I once again need to report the loss of a wonderful friend and classmate, Clay Bryan Dockins.  Clay passed away last week.  Becky said that Clay fought cancer for a very long time and was doing well, but in the last few months he began to lose his battle.  They brought Hospice in to help them, and Clay was able to remain at home with his family until his life ended.  Clay was very thankful for that, as is Becky and their sons.
