Ms. Clara was such a dear person. I am so fortunate to have met her through our partnership with NCDHHS and OIC. May she rest in peace.

To the Knight family and friends. Please accept my sincere and heartfelt condolences. Although this is a challenging time, may it comfort you to know, she's not suffering. She's resting in His arms. God is our Comforter. He's our bridge over troubled waters, He's strong when we're weak. You could cast all your cares to him.

My condolences to her family. I worked as her assistant at OIC and she has taught me many valuable lessons/advice. I will forever be grateful to have sat up under her and hear all the stories of her life she chose to share with me. I've seen strangers come in asking for help and she'd send me right to the store to get them something to eat. She was truly special. Thank you for all you have done for me and those you've touched! You will be missed!

Clara was my manager at OIC, but she was so much more than that to me. She was also a dear friend of my late mother, which made our connection even more special. Clara had the kindest heart and such a warm, genuine spirit that you could feel the moment you were around her. She always carried herself with grace and kindness, and she made a lasting impact on everyone who knew her. She will be deeply missed! <3

Mrs. Clara you were truly an inspiration. When I first started working with the company it was you who gave me the encouragement to step out and really give this part of my journey the best I had to give at the time. You were a large part of any success I had and your quiet strength will NEVER be forgotten.

Deloris Kelly

"I've Only Moved Away" When my life on earth is over and my body is cold and still. Don't grieve because I left you, just remember it was God's will. All my suffering will be over, every trial and every test. When God has called and I have answered, don't weep for I'll be at rest. Only ask yourself this question, "Am I ready to meet him there?" Where there will be no separation in heaven so bright and so fair. When you pass to view my body remember, it's just a house of clay. For I have paid in full for a mansion and I've only moved away." - Author Unknown My sincere condolences on the loss of such a sweet and phenomenal woman who always welcomed us with loving arms!!!

Haleeshia Bynum

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
