Our love and thoughts and our prayers are with you and your entire family. Remembering all the good times when she cut my hair and when they had an ice rink in their back yard and we would go there to play with our cousins and sometimes after school. She would always pinch our cheeks and I would always know she loved me.

Aunt Clara, I have some many fond memories of staying over your house with Uncle Bud. My most favorite memory was during Christmas time. You had a beautiful Christmas tree setup & you made sure I watched Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer for the first time. That memory has stuck with me for 40 years. I know you are in a better place, but that won't stop me from missing you.
