We send prayers to family. My children and I had tremendous fun and great conversations with Clara, she was all at the same time, funny and serious, helping and relaxed, extremely smart but modest, laid back, young, energetic, sharp, understandable, to be short: a great woman. Bless you, Clara and bless your families and the people you love.

My deepest sympathies to all the family. Clara was such a fun lady. Happy for the childhood memories. I always remember her asking me if I wanted a cigarette. She certainly will be missed. Rest In Peace, Clara.

Connie, Vicky, Butch and Michael and your loved ones. I can't help but remember all the good times we had at Grammy and Grampa's with so many cousins, aunts and uncles. Remember the Thanksgivings? Such memorable times all of us together. Aunt Clara and Uncle Carroll sometimes right in the middle of all the laughter and fun times. I still her your Mom's voice especially when she would say (Carroll!) Because he more than likely was up to no good. I miss him. Now Aunt Clara is up there with him. Picture this..all the Aunts and Uncles together again. What a great cribbage tournament that is going to be. No cheating Grammy. Who am I kidding ..
I am so sorry for your loss.
