Memories and Condolences
for Clara Johnson

Not sure what to say?





I am so sorry to hear of Ms. Clara's death. My deepest sympathy to all the family. She has ALWAYS held a sweet spot in my heart: From CYO outtings, to her smile each day when I jumped on the school bus my senior year and first year for the newly formed East Ascension High School (her first year driving permanently), through all the years of swimming lessons at the Gonzales swimming pool, and in her later years, visits at Azalea. She was truly a blessing and special person and I am happy that she has been a part of my life.
God Bless all of you. Ms. Clara will be in my thoughs and prayers.
