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##
Thinking of you all. Praying that you find comfort in the days ahead.

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##

When I moved to Longview years ago, I exercised with your mother and father at the Courthouse. We, along with the Brennions and the Archers and other dear people, had a very special group that moved our bodies and laughed together. It was a time I will cherish always. I will most assuredly remember your mother and father, both extraordinary people.
I am extremely sorry for your loss,
