Clara Dean and Marshall did so much good work for Cotter, especially reworking the downtown gym. I loved working with them on city projects. She is surely resting in peace.

I’m thankful I was able to get to know Clara Dean and Marshal better over the last couple years. She was an incredibly kind lady, and she always made sure to mention how much she loved Marshal and her family. She has received her eternal reward. Grandma Mary Lou sends her condolences and love to the Berg family, as well. God grant His strength and peace to you all.
