Though I was an adult when I finally met my Aunt Clenora, from the time we met she treated me with the love and care as if she'd known me from the day of my birth. I will sorely miss her beautiful smile, gentle manner, and kind hospitality. With all my love and most sincere condolences to all of the family. Julia
