Miss Clara, you were and are a very special lady and friend. I still remember the first day I met you at Central Penn Fitness---I walked through the door and you immediately walked over to me, introduced yourself and offered to help me with the gym apparatus. That was more than 10 years ago but we were friends from that day. Who had more fun than our little group of ladies at the gym? Although I have not seen you for several months, I could always depend on a phone call from you. Rest in peace my dear friend---we will meet again in heaven. Love you with all my heart and soul.
