I wish I could have known Great Aunt Clara. My Grand-dad was Clayton Payne Cooper (passed away December 2011). Even though my time with him was limited, I knew I belonged when I was with him. I am quite positive Great Aunt Clara was the same. My deepest condolences to all.

Jessie, and family, my heart is with you all. Living a lifetime in one place created family beyond blood. Love from the other yard.

Our Deepest Sympathy to the family of Clara Krzystofiak, we were next door neighbors for over 34 years, I had some great visits and good times with Clara, including our awesome trip to Las Vegas, we enjoyed our get away just the two of us. Since I left Shoreview and moved to Elk river, I did not get down to see old neighborhood much.
