Aunt Clara was such a wonderful and kind person. She had the biggest heart of anyone I know. Our family, all 6 of us, would come to visit every other year from home leave. And Aunt Clara always welcomed us with open arms. She went out of her way to make sure we felt right at home. I simply cannot remember one time that she ever got angry at us. All of my memories are of her smiling and laughing. And I can still picture her with my mom staying up late and playing canasta on the kitchen table. And then the next day they were making candles, or sewing. Aunt Clara let us run around the house with squirt guns and getting into all kinds of mayhem in the basement. Then Uncle George came home and straightened things out!!

Aunt Clara was the salt of the earth. A genuine, kind and loving person. She had high values and lived her life by walking with God. No one could shake her value system. She lived her life to the fullest and gave everything she had to others. Thank you Aunt Clara for all the wonderful memories.

Mom is the kindest, most caring, thoughtful, unselfish person I know. She would give her opinions, but I always felt as though she would support me, no matter what I did. Unconditional love… she was an expert. I feel very lucky to be part of the family that Mom and Dad created.

As a child, Mom instilled good values and we sure did know the rules. But I also remember her giving us lots of freedom. We would ride our bikes to Westcott’s candy store to buy penny candy and get snowcones. We also rode our bikes what seemed like a long distance to Merchantville to spend our allowance at the 5 and 10 cent store. Then we would go down the block to the soda fountain for a cherry coke.

We played outside every day. Hopscotch, roller skates and marbles were regular events. We played hide and seek at dusk. I remember catching fireflies, caterpillars and bumble bees and putting them in jars to observe them. She never stopped me from sneaking up on the bumble bees!

Mom and Dad took us to Strawbridge Lake for picnics and ice skating. We went camping and took long walks in the woods. My love of the outdoors comes from things we did as a family. Well into my 30’s, we would go camping near Ocean City every weekend. Some of those Ocean City traditions we still continue to this day.

Mom liked crafts and made many a candle, beautiful sparkly fabric ornaments for the Christmas tree and ceramics. Every year for 25+ years, she would write a Christmas poem, that we eventually made into quite a collection. She went to bible study groups and gave her time for a homeless shelter. She was close to her sister and often played cards and board games with Aunt Ruth and us. They did crafts together too and called themselves the silly sewing sisters. We did a lot of laughing.

Mom was a very special person. I will miss her dearly.

Mom has given me so many fun, loving and inspiring memories. One day, when I was very young, I remember Mom was singing a song about looking for the 'silver lining'. Then she made her point by showing me the silver lining around a cloud outside. She valued family life the most. We played outside on family picnics, hikes in the woods and days at the beach. Mom was sincere in her faith in God and in always looked for the best in people. I will always think of you, rest in peace!

Mom was the kindest and gentlest person one could ever hope to meet. She had a great sense of humor and was always there for us whenever we needed her. She loved to sing and dance when she was able to. We were truly blessed to have a Mom like her, and now heaven is truly blessed as well. Love you Mom!

Our Aunt Clara was the sweetest and kindest lady. She had the gentlest way about her. I have fond memories of our families getting together mostly at the NJ shore-lots of food, laughter and board games. She wrote wonderful poetry at Christmas That reflected her deep faith. She’s the last of that generation for us. She was loved and will be missed.❤️
