Ann Clam was so sweet to me. I loved visiting Mr. and Mrs. Clam in those early days of my friendship with Judy. Ann always took the time to send me a card on certain occasions, especially when I lost my Dad in 2002. Her words back then gave me great comfort. God bless her and the entire family.

She would always great us with a warm smile, friendly hello and always asked how we were doing before I got a chance to ask how she was. I will miss not seeing her at family gatherings.

My obituary for Mrs. Clam. A wonderful wife, a wonderful mother, a wonderful 2nd mother to every kid on the block, a wonderful neighbor, a wonderful laugh, a wonderful smile, and most notably, a wonderful human being in every sense of the word.
