Travis and Judy, it saddens me to hear of the passing of Mrs. Clara. She was a big part of mine and my brothers early childhood. We both know all too well what it is to loose our parents. May God give you peace and comfort in this time of sadness. We will hold you both and the family close in our prayers.
