Dear Terri and Family,



My Mom called and told about what happened. I'm so sorry for your loss. Aunt Clela was a wonderful lady and my Grandma Molly and my Mom (Linda) sure loved her. I always remember as a little girl going to Aunt Clela's house and I loved visiting her because she was so fun. I don't think there has ever been a time that we drove to Magna without pointing out her house and saying "there's Aunt Clela's house" and sometimes we would just stop in unannounced and she would always welcome us. I heard many stories from my Grandma Molly about the good times they had together years ago. Now Aunt Clela is up in heaven with my Grandma having good times once again!

All my love and condolences to you and I pray our Lord Jesus comforts you during this time.

Love your cousin,

Stacey

My dear cousins, please accept my condolences. I have such vivid memories of Clela. My mother, Alice Jones, thought she was the most beautiful person she knew. I remember visiting at your home many times when we were much, much younger. All my love to you, and I pray the Lord will comfort you at this time.
