Very sorry to find my Aunt Clara has passed. I never really got to know my fathers' side of the family, until I was an adult.

Susie was a member of our Past Matrons group and I served as an officer with her for many years. She will certainly be missed. My condolences to all of her family.

I got to know "Susie" from East Gate Lodge and really enjoyed her mild manner and straight forwardness. She is a gem in heaven now and we will all miss her until we meet again.
