For years Clara Jean and I were in the same Sunday School class at First Baptist Church. She was a sweet, kind person and I enjoyed her friendship so much. In latter years we were in separate groups and I did not get to visit with her often, but when I did see her occasionally , she was always that same sweet, kind person and was always with her dear friend, Jen. My sympathy goes out to her family and to Jen.##imported-begin##Frances Dickson-Payne##imported-end##

I will miss Clara Jean - she and my mother were so close - it is like losing a favorite aunt. Clara Jean was part of many of our family events - she has been missed since her illness. She is leaving a large hole in many lifes but the memories that she is part of are many.##imported-begin##Martha Brennion-Nease##imported-end##

Dear Mary Elizabeth and Susan,
We are sorry for the lost your Mother. She was a gracious lady and she reminded me so much of Aunt Ruth. We did not get to see much of her and Frank, however, they were lots of fun to be around, when we were able to visit Aunt Ruth. Our prayers are with you and your families.
Love
