They blended their families and had a wonderful life together.

Cloye was at home at the beach and loved to go on long walks and find shells to fill her home. She was a wonderful hostess and loved to have the entire family over to celebrate the holidays. She would spend weeks planning, so that it would be special for everyone. She was an avid reader and loved architecture and home design. She was a member of the Al Lawrence running club and ran many marathons including Boston, New York and Houston. Most importantly, she was the best Granny and GiGi. She loved her grandchildren and great grandchildren and gave her whole heart to them anytime she was with them.
