Bobby and family so sorry to hear of the passing of your mother and our dear friend. We worked with Clara and have stayed friends for almost 50 years, visiting her on Hickory Street in Alexandria, VA,; Leisure World in MD, and Fredericksburg, VA. Enjoyed our lunches and spending time with her always making sure to stop at the Krispy Kreme store to get lemon filled doughnuts. Can’t tell you how much we are going to miss her. In our prayers.
