Clara and our Mom, Alline, were the best of friends! Clara was so kind and funny. She was part of all our wedding showers, weddings, and baby showers! We laugh when we remember the long phone conversations the two of them used to have. We all loved Clara and the Zolnierowicz family. May God bless you all .... you are in our thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely,
The Williams Family - Alline, Skip, Kathy, Terry, Cindy, and Pam
