To my godmother - Nanny. So glad I was able to visit with you earlier this year. Nice memories of you and everyone else during the holidays when I was young, you coming to my dance recitals, and visiting your little house in Maryland.
Love always, Staci

Dear Aunt Clara,
Many memories are imprinted on my brain and they all make me smile and laugh. You all were the cutest bunch of people in the world...Dad, Uncle Bud and Uncle Vic - the three boys! And then there was the ladies...Mom, Aunt Gretch and Aunt Clara - cards, beer, BrLuDi. I love characters and you all were the meaning of that word. I will be thinking of all of you Thursday. Sending my love to you Vicki, Les

Aunt Clara was so much a part of my life, especially during my formative years. When I think of her so many memories come to my mind. Most of these memories make me smile or should I say laugh hysterically. For instance, the making of my wedding dress & other dresses, Fletcher's kitchen, crying Fridays, Yatzee, Pitch, Vacation Inn, Dutchmans, the Fly Song(Aunt Clara disliked that song lol)& most important "Lover"! I will always be grateful for love, support & guidance she gave to me. Always in my thoughts & thanks for the memories!

Aunt Clara, my other mother, will be sorely missed. She was a speacial lady with a big heart. I will always remember and tell her story of how she and uncle Vic met and then got married soon thereafter. Great story.
