To the entire Clauser family. So sorry to hear about your mom and grandmother. Your Mom, and Dad, were both wonderful people, family friends, and I feel like I spent most of my childhood at the house hanging with Rose. Your mom was fun, caring, and full of happiness always. Memories that will always be with me. My deepest sympathy.

I remember both your parents fondly. They were both very kind to my family. Back in the day I used to babysit some of you.I remember your Mom coming into Smith's Candies to get her treats. She always had a memory to share and her infectious laugh.
My condolences to all of you, I know you will all miss her dearly.
