Aunt Clara's fun loving nature and total devotion to her family was something to admire. She has patiently waited to once again sit side-by-side with Uncle Dale and I know their souls are rejoicing to be together again. 

Grief is the price we pay for love. Hopefully, you can be comforted to know and believe that your mother’s illness has ended, and she is where she tirelessly waited to be. Wishing you all my heartfelt sympathy and empathy for the years ahead. ❤

How my grandma did all she did raising us I will never know. She taught me so many things that made me who I am now. I have many memories of taking Jennifer and I rides in her Pontiac convertible which she cherished and listening to her guidance on life’s issues and what and how to handle them when they happen. She would always make herself available with whatever you wanted to talk about except during “wheel of fortune” 😀. I know sometimes things seemed to much and you and Grandpa couldn’t do anymore. But I want you both to know together in heaven, besides the dedication, it was the little things that stuck with us and we’re all better people and parents for it. Will miss you. 🙏🏼

My Mom started me on my journey of faith which I share with my daughters and they in turn are sharing with their children. There is not a better legacy a person can leave their family and for that I will always be thankful.  Mom loved her Bible and devotions; she had a deep faith.  I know she is happy in Heaven with Dad and the rest of her family, but I will miss her every day for the rest of my life. We will all be ok Mom, save me a seat in Heaven.

There won’t be a day that goes by I won’t miss Clara. She was  the  best mother in law I could have asked for and I loved her for that. I enjoyed our time together that involved shopping, lunches, long phone calls and visits . I am devastated to have lost her so unexpectedly.  She was a beautiful gracious person who loved her family and was loved by her family.  I know you and Dale are together again picking  up where you left off and If there is a Burger King in heaven you are there on Sundays like old times.  I hope you are smiling that we have  Bella. She misses you and looks for you all the time. 

Sorry for your loss, your mom was special to all of us growing up .  We  have memories of  all the times our families went back and forth to one another’s homes.  Prayers to you all

There will never be a day that I will not miss  you Mom.  Thank you for all the things you did for Brooke growing up. So many pictures of you at her school functions and so many memories. We will cherish the many Christmases we spent together watching Christmas Eve.  We love you so.  I will continue our talks at the park Mom and one day I will see you again.


Mom was a great loving mom and true friend to me. Boy could she ever listen and give the best advice. She always told me not to let the bad days take over the good ones ahead. She loved being a grandma and great grandma. She’s with dad now they are catching up after all these years apart. Your love will be missed.... We will meet again in Heaven.

Love and prayers for your family. Our families spent a lot of time together when we were young. Lots of good memories to cherish through life. We had the best moms in the world.

Roger and Betty ,, and family,, my most sincere thoughts and prayers  for you all at  the loss of  your mother ,,  

So sorry to her about your mom! They were such great neighbors and we loved going back and forth to your home, such a great family and great times! My mom Della thought so much of your mom I’m sure they have already meet in a greater place  and are catching up! Prayers for  her family.   

I will miss you so Grandma. I still can remember you and Grandma Fisher coming to my Grandparents Days. You were always there to support. My favorite recent memory was when you met my husband,  he called you Clara Belle and you said "No, just Clara, the bells been broken for years". I see your humor in me, Jess and Mom every day.  I am sure Grandpa was humming his way to you, but we will miss you here with us. 

Clara was a special lady. Always treated me as part of the family.    She loved children and gave birth to 10 wonderful children .   I am sure she loved all of you and was very proud of the grandchildren.   Rest in peace Clara.  

Many people didn’t know how generous my mom was. I used to work with kids who aged out of foster care with no family. She would send stuff for their first apartment/dorm each time I visited. She didn’t want them using their small stipend for blankets or towels or pillows so she would send all that she had so they could use their money for their first bed or couch. They were always so grateful since they didn’t have grandmas. They won’t forget her. 💜

How beautiful is a mother's love. We know in our hearts that we will never forget her laughter and her love. 

So sorry to here of your mother passing,  She was always at the family gathering and I enjoy visting with her.  she will always be in your heart,  Prayers for the family.

My head is swimming with memories. The way she loved holding babies. The way her needs and wants always came last. She was my mother first but more important my friend. Those will never change not even in death.
