I just wanted to say how sorry I am for your family's loss. As a child my family, The Doty's spent a lot of time in Isle of Hope visiting Clara Dell, Leonard and the Hadden family. At some point during the years we lost contact but I still remember Clara Dell and how sweet she was to us. Many prayers to your family. God Bless each of you

She was like a second Mama to me at times when it was needed. She was much loved by all of us and so much fun and she could cook great meals and was very active in her church and the church nursery. She loved all her children and her husband fiercely and was so protective of the family. She was an angel on earth and dwells in Heaven as the same. She will be missed beyond words but she is with her hubby, her son, and grandson and other family gone before.

I use to wait on Mrs.Hadden at Piggly Wiggly and at Kroger. She always had a big smile and a twinkle in her eyes. She was a bright spot in my day. May God give her family peace and comfort .
