Clara Stilwell Abernathy

Clara was a special member of our Sunday School class for many years, so regular in attendance even when she did not feel well. I remember most how much she loved her family and each Sunday would share with us information about each of you. You are blessed to have had her for so many years with her sharp mind and ability to communicate with you. May God be close to you to offer strengthen and peace during the days and weeks ahead as you reorder your lives without her earthly presence.

Dear Family,
Our hearts are sadden to see Aunt Clara gone, but rejoice in the fact we know where she has gone. She lived a wonderful long life and she loved all of you so much. We will miss her. She was very special to Moma. I'm sure they are in Heaven together talking once again. We love you and if you need us for anything let us know. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
We Love You,
Harold, Kathie (Pitts), Jordan, Justin & Kallie Phillips

Dearest Buddy and Celia, My heart breaks for you today at the loss of our beloved Clara. I remember in the late 1970's...Jusin wasn't even born or either a baby, Clara went with us on a picnic one day to Linville Falls. I was trying to get my own life back together at that point and just being with all of you helped more than you know; you made me feel like I was truly a part of YOUR family. Clara treated me like another of your children; so sweet and so filled with love. God blessed you...
