Mark,Karen I'm so sorry for your loss ya'll are in my thoughts and prayers 😪
I worked at clay city for the last several years as well as became part of the community moving in as a stranger. I can tell you that not only does this community take care of their own in life they celebrate them in death. Cameron was such a fun kid and I absolutely hate that his family and his friends have to go through this loss. I have no doubt in my mind that he would have moved mountains in his adult life. I pray his spirit continue to do so in each and every one of your lives.
So so sorry for you loss Mark and Karen. May you find peace in your precious memories.
