It was such a pleasure to meet and visit with Clarice this past spring. I know my dad had fond memories of time spent with her and the rest of his cousins. Blessings to you and your family during this hard time. What an inspiration to me she was and what a wonderful time we had sharing stories of the Coburns.
I am sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you and your family during these difficult times.
Thank you so much for your message, Pam. Mom talked about your visit for weeks and the whole family loved the photo magnet with old pictures of young Grandma Burnison and Mom’s beloved Aunt Laura. It is indeed a great loss for our family.
