    Hi Bob & Jean - I've been thinking of you since I heard about you losingAunt Clara. She was someone that always made me feel that she was so glad to see me no metter how long it was between times. I liked her very much. I know that this is a hard time and hope that you will remember all the pleasure that she shared with everyone she knew. (It's "Mike" Howcroft - I wasn't sure that you would remember my married name)

    Dear Jeanie & Bob, Clara is such a neat person. For those who never got to know her they missed out! She had such a way of looking a things that you just knew she had inside information from God! She will be missed,never forgotten, and now God has her busy doing all of her special and favorite things. Just a few short days back, when she came home from the hosptial this last time I called, she answered, we a brief conversation, she was her ususal self- but longing for better times...NOW she will have better times! We have the sorrow of losing her,but the JOY of sharing her life! You will be in my thoughts as you walk thru this valley. Love you, Julie
