I'm so sorry to hear of miss Clara's passing. She contacted Me shortly after hearing of Sue McCluskey passing. Very concerned because of the history lost with her. The same holds true for Miss Clara. We have lost an incredible person and a library of history.

When I think of my sister in Christ Clara, I think with great fondness. She was one who was an avid prayer partner, encourager, and dear friend whom I could share my heart with and knew Godly counsel would be shared back!
I am forever grateful for her kindness and friendship!
Praying that the Lord’s perfect peace and comfort to be with family and other loved ones at this time in Jesus name I pray!
