Dear Aunt Clarestine, it has been many years since we last saw each other, however I remember your kindness and sweet voice when Mom would take me to visit you and I could play with my cousin Ruth. You were blessed in so many ways and now your children are blessed knowing what a crown of glory you are now wearing along side some of your family who left before you and whom you are now with. Give my Mom a hug for me. Sincere Love, Sandy

Dear Aunt Claristine, It has been many years since I last sat with you and talked and I am glad I did. I remember as a child when my mom would take us out to your home in the country and we would play along the creek and the time I helped the egg man, along with other kids in gathering his eggs and our pay was an ice cream from the local market. May your children feel blessed to have had youwith them these many years and cherish your memory. Rest in Peace. Jim

Dear Ruth and family, My thought and prayers are with you during this sad time. Clarestine was a precious woman, and such a pleasure to be around. When she lived here at the complex and joined us in the activities, her smile and presence was something to look forward to. I'll miss her presence in church too. I cannot express to you, Ruth, what it meant to me to see how well you and your husband took care of her. What a true blessing it was to see her smile and see that special twinkle in her eyes. She was loved and it showed. God be with you and your family during this time. Sincerely, Mary Paice
