Jackie and family, we're so sorry to hear of Aunt Clarry's passing; hard to believe, we were just with you both at mom and dad's 60th wedding anniversary just 2 short weeks ago.
Her generation is now all gone which is tragic but on the other hand she's rejoicing; seeing her Doug, Mike, Uncle Pete and all her brothers and sisters!
She was so loving, caring and a great example of what Christ wants us to be! No doubt in my heart she's watching down on all of us but especially her family.
Many prayers are with you for strength and peace.
Love you <3
