Just the other day I read in the Houston Chronicle where Clay's son ,the singer, indicated his dad was gravely ill in a hospice here in Houston.The reason I took notice is that Clay Sr.and I were close friends growing up in Beaumont in the late '50s and early '60s. I remember very well the little house they lived on Highland ave.Clay and I, in fact, raised cows together on their property off of Erie St. in Beaumont. I eventually had to sell my cattle because my family and I later moved to the North side. Clay also had a buckskin horse he named "Buck". In fact this horse just about killed me by throwing me off and falling on me.They rushed me to a hospital, but it all turned out well.We had some wild adventures back then, hunting ,working around the farm just being kids you know.It's so hard to believe he has passed. I had no idea his brothers John Earl and Bobby are gone as well, along with mom Mary.

Clay, you don't know me, but of course I am a fan, and will always appreciate the help you gave us, people with MS, when hurricane Rita hit our area. I am so sorry about the loss of your father. I lost my mother 2 1/2 yrs. ago, time does not heal, but it does make the pain more bearable. My prayers are with you and your family. Ruth Thomas
