To Uncle Bob and my cousins Karen, Kathy & Suzanne and Families. I heard with sadness of the loss of Aunt Clara. She will be missed by all who knew her. I am pleased that on my last trip back to Canada I was able to see her and Uncle Bob when I crossed the Causeway and visited Ennismore for old times' sake. The thoughts and prayers of my family are with you all.

Dear Bob and family, I am so sorry to hear of Clara’s death. Whenever I think of her, I smile and can see her smile and hear a slight Irish lilt to her voice. She is probably in heaven right now laughing with St. Patrick telling Irish jokes. What a remarkable and lovely lady!
