This is Faith again. I know that the grandchildren and the wives of the children will miss her, too. I didn't want to leave them out. Grandparents are very special to us. God bless you.

What I remember most about Clara was that she always had interesting stories to tell. She loved the Lord and her favorite daughter was Kerehl. I had the priviledge of feeding her one Sunday before she went to the Banquet Table in Heaven. That's got to be exciting. I know that her children will miss her, but also know that she is with Jesus. My sympathies are with you all. (Kerehl, Derehl, Olin, Colin and Asa)
