My Husband Clay's Journey Home ❤️

It is with great anguish that we present the news of the home going of my dearly beloved husband, Clayton Atkinson. After, spending 63 days in the hospital, my husband, Clayton came home for 5 sweet days and on the 6th day fell sick again and was taken to another hospital, and after 6 more days at this lesser care facility, was finally transferred to a higher care hospital where he spent 6 more days in ICU. In the end, he did go home to be with the Lord. He was 58 and succumb to a rare kidney disease on June 4, 2019 along with heart complications. So many people have been contacting our family, embracing us near and from far, asking for ways to love on Clay, one last time. Our costs of three hospitalizations, autopsy, funeral, and burial are great, but with your love, continued prayers, and donations we can absorb a good portion of the expenses, and lay our dearly beloved, Clay’s remains to rest at Green Hills cemetery, a place that is most beautiful, and most fitting for him. Truly, we believe when this beautiful soul closed his eyes for the final time, he immediately opened his eyes in the presence of our Lord and Savior, amen. Moreover, I am setting up this account for those who want to off set some of these expenses. The phone calls from the various hospitals and doctors are starting come. You have loved Clay with two kinds of love, an Agape love which is sometimes referred to as universal, charity, or even an altruistic love. Essentially, it is a Christly love that is buried inside us and bleeds outward like a healing salve filling deep fissure wounds. You also loved him with phillia; a brotherly, a noble love showing loyalty, sacrifice, and deep appreciation because this is the same kind of love he has shown us especially when it came to making sure we were all spiritually sound and loving God rightly, so that we could each love God and enjoy Him forever. Clayton Edward was 58 years young, fought a good race with the help of all of us who loved and cared for him. He leaves behind me, his wife, four kids, three siblings, and so many, many dear and sweet friends who are all broken and mourning just as hard. ❌⭕️❌
