Clare was always a “light” that shone brightly in our family. She religiously brought(or drug) her family back to Durant for summer and Christmas vacations for many years. These trips were the highlight of her mother, Gorda, and the Herd family. The Christmas productions, mud pies manufactured, and quality outside playtime are indelibly ingrained in my memory. I thank her and Bill for teaching me true family devotion. Clare was beauty, brains, humor, humility, and kindness which made for one perfect aunt and role model. I feel so blessed to have had her in my life.
