My Dear Aunt Clara is finally at Peace! The memories of the weekend visits to "The Farm" are burned into my brain forever. She was always kind to me and I will keep her as one of my prized memories. May she look down upon us and say "We sure had some fun times... Not??" (her wonderful way of saying "Didn't we?") Clara!! Yes we did! Not???

Aunt Clara brought so many gifts to our lives. She always managed to make me smile. Her kindness and generosity will forever be remembered in my mind and heart. I know she is now at peace and WILL be greatly missed.

I am so sad to have lost my favorite Aunt Clara. Visits to the farm were always such a treasured memory experience. She was always so kind, thoughtful and generous. She was a great teacher to me. I loved talking to her about books she had read. She loved to read. I am happy to know she has finally found peace and will enjoy Heaven a lot. Amazing that my favorite Aunt's funeral is on my birthday. Bon voyage, Clara.
