Rest Mrs. Clara.

Mrs. Clara worked with my mom, Dorothy (Dot) Bloom, at Bell South for many years. I remember all of the love and support these ladies/guys gave and shared with their families as co-workers...Birthday parties, company picnics, and of course Mardi Gras at Mrs. Betty's house. That type of comradery is almost nonexistent on the job today. On behalf of my family, thanks for being our mom's friend.
