Mrs. McClure,You are such an amazing women.A mother,a grand mother and great grandmother.You have always showed your kindness and deep concern for others.As you opened up your home to me you opened up a much bigger part of you which is your heart.It's something about the way you express yourself to others. The tone of your voice was very strong,but it was just understood and certain of what was wanted. Your words exert with great power and force. You are a women who took pride in the way she swept the floor and everything that she has ever had.I never knew a women that was so independent and hardworking with a great sense of humor.I will always remember and cherish the good times that were spent. you have influenced and touch so many people including me. You have truly made an impact in many lives. thank you for letting me be a part of your life, you and your family have done so much for me.So much you have accomplished. You have diffently emphazised to us young adults on how important school and work really is and how important it is to stay in school.I know you are in a better place nowand you are no longer in pain.One day we will all meet again.

We will always have fond memories of her as a wonderful neighbor, gardener and animal lover. She spoiled our dogs with treats and cared for all the neighborhood cats. She will be missed.
