To all the family especially Jennifer and Jenny I am so sorry for your loss Ms. Clara was a sweet dear friend and I will miss her deeply. All of you are in my prayers and thoughts. I will always think of her when I go get corn and strawberries every year I would always pick her some up so she would have plenty for when the kids came over. You all had a special mom
