	Aunt Clara will truly be missed. I always saw her as a beautiful lady and person. I am sorry that I can not be there for family night but all will be in my heart and prayers. While living away Aunt Clara would write and let me know how here and Uncle Lloyd were doing. that made me feel close to home. Again I will truly miss her and the person she was. Love Jennifer

	It was sad today to read of Mrs. Meadow's death in the DN-R. I have very fond memories of her from my childhood. She was like a "second Grandma" to us kids at St. James UMC. She really cared. I'm glad that I will see her again one day, with Jesus!
