To the family of Clairine Woodhouse. I was indeed shocked to learn of her death. I got to know her several years ago through my mother,Cora Morgan of Dunn,NC. She was indeed a lovely person. I will miss her telling me off when she hadn't heard from me in a while.
She is now resting in peace with her Saviour.

Mrs. Woodhouse will always be fondly remembered. Known for her candor, she was also kind and considerate. Our time together was brief, but most rich nonetheless. Like sleeping beauty was awakened by the kiss of prince charming, she is awakened by the kiss of the Savior. A sleeping beauty living happily ever after in the near presence of the God who loves her.
