I had the honor of working with Miss Clara at Lakin many years ago. I went there as a 19 year old & immediately thought I had made the wrong decision but she always had words of encouragement & kindness offered guidance for me. I ended up staying for 30 years. Such a wonderful lady! My sincere sympathy to the family. Heaven surely gained a angel with her passing!!!
