Condolence: Diane and family, I want to share my sorrow with you for the loss of Clare. Know that Clarence who passed 9 days before Clare would have been heartbroken to know his life long friend was going to leave his family and friends. They shared memories with us that will never be forgotten.

Condolence: Diane, my heart breaks for you, I was shocked to hear the news, unfortunately I'm out of state and cannot attend. Please know that you and the family are in my thoughts and prayers, may the lord bless and keep you.

Condolence: We have lost yet another piece of the DeWitt Class of 60'puzzle. So sorry for your loss, but our loss here on earth is Heaven's gain and our gain of another angel watching over us. So glad I was able to see and chat with Clare the last class get together. May your memories overshadow your grief at this time.

Condolence: So sorry to read of your loss Lori. Prayers for you and your whole family.

Condolence: My eyes were closed, I felt so weak. Then someone kissed me on the cheek. "He's not aware that we are near", the doctor's voice, it seemed so drear. I hear a voice then that was all. No other things do I recall. Until my eyes beheld the light of angels'gowns, all pure-alight. I caught a hand, an angel's hold. She helped me free my struggling soul. I looked back down upon my bed. I heard somebody say "he's dead". "OH NO!" I cried, "I hadn't died. I just passed to the other side. Look up! Look up! Don't cry for me. I go to joy ETERNALLY". But noone heard those words I said. They cried for me-they thought me dead.

Condolence: Diane, Tammy and Lori: I am so sorry for your loss. I have always loved Clare and Diane and throughly enjoyed bowling with them. Clare always had a way to put a smile on my face and always had a smile on his face (unless he was not bowling well, then I knew to stay away. LOL). He has a sense of humor like no other. I enjoyed visiting after church (and sometimes during, hahaha). He was the most kind and gentle person I knew and will be missed by so many. I will always remember Clare. Love always, Jane (Holbrook) Ward.

Condolence: What a loss. It doesn't feel that long ago all the nieces and nephews were running around in the basement playing pool or hanging out at Christmas. I still remember getting yelled at because Matt and I would be playing basketball in the bedroom too load. To many good times spent with him to even remember. Always spoke his mind and was honest. I will really miss him. RIP uncle Clare
