Clara Jean Farmer

Condolences to Cindy, the boys, and your extended families. Fortunate to have been a Pepper Hills kid, I knew Mrs. Farmer from an early age. But it was when I became a Hokie that she became my earthly Momma Jean Angel at VT. It was at her basketball office where I became one of the many students who visited her office throughout the week and year round. Her capacity for showering love was extraordinary. Over the years, I've continued to draw on the energy from those visits a blessing dose for my day. Peace and Love to all of you.

My deepest condolences to the family. The Virginia Tech community has lost a great lady. She shared her lunch with me three times a week in the early 80s when I worked at the Virginia Tech all sports camp. I would go to the basketball office to see Jean regularly. We spent so much time at Jean and Crackers that my first 10 years on this planet I didn´t know if Jean, or Betty Branch was my mother. I´m certain Cracker notified God Jean was on her way up and to get that gate open! All my love to the family,
Steve Branch
