Darnell, Jeff and Paula I am so sorry for your loss. Clara as been in my life since I was in elementary school when she bowled with my mom. She became my coworker, my friend, my confidant, my kids Tabby. I can't pick a favorite memory but I'll never forget her gracious heart, her supporting words, her tender hugs, her unending love and lastly, that infectious laugh. I can hear it as I type. God gained an angel and her and Granny are having an amazing reunion.
You all are in my thoughts and prayers. Love you Big D. God bless and keep you all in His arms and may you find peace in Clara's journey to Heaven. Love you all. Karen Helton Herrington (Al)
