Cathy and Bob, I am so sorry about your mom’s death. I was just catching up on the newspaper tonight and read the obituary thus realizing I had missed calling hours today. I’m sorry that I couldn’t see you and your family personally but know that I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

My mother and I would like to express our condolences for the loss of your mother. She was a neighbor long ago, but I still remember her smile. May you find comfort in friends and family who will help you in this time of loss and grief.
I worked with your Mother at Sylvania many years ago. She was so pretty, and I never realized that she wore makeup, until one time I went to her house for a makeup party. She came to the door with no makeup on, and I said “Clara is that you?” She laughed and said “Yes, the makeup lady is going to make me up.” I never forgot it…. Every time I make her recipe for small pecan pies I read her hand written recipe called Golden Cups. She had brought them into work one time, and I had to have the recipe…. They were amazing and I think of her when I make them. You have my sympathy.
Sorry for your loss! I think she used to work with my dad, Jim Fair and remembered her name. God Bless!
