Hi Beth, I saw in the Rockford paper, that Clare has passed. My deepest sympathy goes to you and your family. I will always remember your Mom as one funny person, that could never figure out why her car came back with something broken everytime "the girls" took it out!! Lots of love, Sue (Gayman) McLaughlin [email protected]
