Clara Dill Obituary

To my dearest grandmother
You took care of me when I was young.You and mom raised me and my brother.You will be greatly missed by us but at least I know that you are in heaven with mom and the rest of our loved ones.And I know that you will continue to watch over us as you did in the past.

Wow I remember when Clara use to babysit me when my family went out of town.
That was some good old days on Olympia Street.
She was such a nice person.
My prayers are with you and your family.
In his love and mine, Karen

Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Many good memories growing up on Olympia Street in North Charleston.
His Love and Our Love, too!

Someone passes through your life no matter how brief that you never forget.Your mother was one of those too me. I can still hear her call MARTY from that porch on Olympia Dr.My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I was so sad to hear of Aunt Clara's passing. I will always remember her wonderful sense of humor. My favorite memory of her was her doing "The Charleston." She was such a fun loving spirit. My thoughts and prayers are with Marty, Sheila and their families during this difficult time. Love, Susan (Jimmy and Sue Lane's daughter)

You have been my friend for 40+ years. My dear friend I will miss you dearly. Marty and Sheila and Family you will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Aunt Clara we will miss you dearly.I wish your family my deepest sympathy. They are in my thoughts and prayers. You always made me laugh and it was always good talking with you. I will miss you.

Aunt Clara was a very generous, spirited, and loving person. She was always cheerful and upbeat and would dance a little jig almost every time I saw her. My deepest condolences to Marty, Sheila and their families.

Aunt Clara, you will be missed by all who knew and loved you. You are now at rest and home with the angels in heaven.

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. Our deepest condolences are with you as you grieve.Clara was a wonderful sister and friend.We will miss her dearly.Our love is with you.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
