Clara cut my hair many times. She was a very kind, sweet lady, I will miss her smile.

I have so many memories of Clara! She is the first person that ever cut my hair! She was a beautiful soul and I´m so glad I ran into her last year at Farmer Fresh. Love and condolences.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

CLARA WAS MY HAIRDRESSER FOR ABOUT 3 YEARS, AND WE HAD A MUTUAL LOVE FOR THE LORD JESUS. EACH TIME I CAME TO HAVE MY HAIR DONE WAS A VISIT WITH A CLOSE FRIEND AND A SISTER IN CHRIST. i AM SORRY TO HAVE TO GIVE HER UP, AND I WILL REALLY MISS HER. I LOOK FORWARD TO BEING REUNITED IN HEAVEN ONE DAY SOON. MY PRAYERS WILL BE OFFERED UP FOR HER FAMILY.
