    I loved meeting up with Clara on my walks every day. She and Pooh were a delight to visit with. I have missed seeing her around the neighborhood for a long time. But I know she and Pooh are skipping on the Yellow Brick Road right now. Bless you, sweet lady.

    Dennis and Diana,
    Please accept our deepest sympathy on Clara’s death. She was such a lovely and sweet lady and we loved chatting with her when she was out walking Pooh. She would often stop and sit on the rock at the end of our ramp and take a little rest before she got home. I know you will miss her smile and fun personality. Fondly, Suzie and Hawkeye.

    So sorry to hear of your loss of your dear mother. Clara was one of the nicest women I’ve ever had the pleasure to know. Very soft spoken and so, so incredibly kind. I’m certain a great void is felt in all hearts who loved her and only time will heal that. Knowing she is in His kingdom now and has reunited with those she had loved and lost should bring some comfort to your hurting hearts. We will be praying for your contentment and comfort through this difficult time.

    ~Love & Blessings

    It was with great sadness that I received the news of Clara’s passing. She was warm and loving and accepted me into the family with ease. I miss her outstanding hugs, as they were always strong and genuine. She was a wonderful GG to Aydia and Avi and always valued their time together. While I know she is resting peacefully now, it is never easy to say goodbye to a loved one. I wish you all the best in this difficult time. Love, Brad Kaplan

    I just learned of Clara’s passing and wanted to offer my condolences. Clara lived near my mother, June, in Sun City and she was always a welcome sight for both my mother and myself as she walked through the complex with Pooh. My mother let few into her life and Clara was one of those few. It was her infectious smile and her incredibly kind spirit that drew people to her and she will be forever missed. I’m sure my mother was delighted to see Clara walk through the “pearly gates” and I’m sure they’ve continued their friendship at the kitchen table over a sweet snack.
