Aunt Clara



This sweet lady is my Great Aunt Clara, a sister to my maternal Grandfather. She went home to Jesus on Sunday.

She and her family lived far away from us, but to Mama and Aunt Lottie, she was their "Beloved Aunt Clara". I met one of her daughters, and her husband, last summer at a family reunion. Had known about Lola all my life, but it was good to put a face and a heart to a name.

Aunt Clara LOVED God and lived like it. She lived a lively 91 years.

One of the most impressive things my family remembers about her was her infectious laugh. Aunt Lottie said that when Aunt Clara laughed, she laughted with all of herself...and it sounded like bells ringing.
Isn't that FUN!!!???

I thank God that Aunt Clara is deposited into heaven and look forward to getting acquainted with her.....we'll have many good laughs together. LOL LOL LOL
