My prayers, sympathy and love are with the family. Clara will always be in my heart as she was such a special friend to my mother, Virginia Cooper. When I think of them, I think of crafts, lunches, the Mother's Club, their laughter and of course fishing!! Oh how they loved to fish !!! Now they are all reunited in heaven. May your wonderful memories of your mother help ease your grief. She was a fantastic person and will be greatly missed.

Clara will always be in my heart. She and my mother were good friends. I remember her being in my life from when I was a small boy. As time went on she became my friend. She gave me praise when I deserved it and heck when I deserved it. She was a special person to me and I will miss her. Now the person I affectionally called "Grandma" is now in Heaven with the person I had the honor of calling "Mother".

Clara's memories will always be a part of my life with all of the wonderful moments we shared and all the wonderful homemade items she made for me that I cherish so much. She taught me what unconditional love meant which was a factor of our continued relationship. Now she is in Heaven and reunited with all her love ones. Gloria, Gene and Mel, my heartfelt sympathy goes out to you.

Gloria - Mel - Gene I will miss your mother deeply. She may be gone but she will not be forgotten. She will be with each of you in every flower or bird that you take the time to notice. My prayers are with each of you during this difficult time. Our mothers are probably redecorating Heaven at this very moment.
