Not sure what to say?

Mrs. Jestice was a very nice lady and I had the privilege of knowing her since the middle 1980s. I was lucky enough to be friends with her and her late husband Charles. They were very kind people to me and I thank them for being my friend. Thank you so much for being around for me and you are very kind, thank you I will miss you very much. God bless you!

Precious friend of nearly 60 years. I shall miss you.

I will forever remember Aunt Clarice's beautiful smile, her lovely voice, and her lovely, lively spirit. I will also remember holidays and sleepovers with my cousins Karen, Kim and Kelly. Sending condolences to all of you.

I too grew up in Arlington, Georgia. My father was older, but in a small town you would say he and Clarice “grew up together!” Clarice was beloved by the Arlington community. All looked forward to when she came “home” for a visit. I was particularly excited. It meant Karen, Kim, and Kelly were coming too! I have many wonderful childhood memories of those fun times. Clarice’s mother lived directly behind our house making it easy for us to get together. Over the last several years we...

I am so very sorry to hear of Clarice’s passing. She was always a genuine, kind, caring person. I know the family’s memories will bring comfort.

I had the privilege of knowing Clarice for as long as I can remember growing up on North Franklin street in Dearborn Michigan. I always thought we lived on the best block in town and Clarice helped make it that way with parties she would host for us kids etc. She always had a smile on her face and was very gracious. Clarice was like a sister to my mother. My thoughts and prayers are with Clarice's family who I know will greatly miss her.

I’m so sad. Clarice and I met at a party on Dauphin Island, Al. and became instant friends. We rode bikes all over the Island and kept in contact by phone. Hard to believe we were friends for 16 years. My husband and I went to dinner with her and Charlie when we were in Detroit for the Auto Show. We lost our husbands a few weeks apart and she came to the Island for a few days after visiting her family in Arlington. She was a special person and loved her family. for her family.

Clarice was an amazing woman, who would always make me laugh.She always talked lovingly about her family and grand children,and her adventures with them.I am honored to have known her.Love, Mary Grabowski
