I have missed hearing from Clara for some years now. Clara and I were friends in Northgate and I will always remember bible study and the silly fun lunches we shared together. I last heard of her when she said she and Bill had moved to Arkansas. I did not know of her son and daughter's deaths. She was a kind and thoughtful friend.. To the family, you were blessed with a good mom. I am so sorry to learn of her passing and of her disease.
