Clydena was a beautiful person inside and out. I was privileged to spend a lot of time with her in Dallas when she had her liver transplant. She was strong & motivated to live for her children, grandchildren & great grandchildren. Now she can rest in the arms of God.

Darlene and Family, I am so sorry for your loss. I did not know your Mom but from what others say, we was a jewel. I lost my Mom a year ago, so I know how you are feeling. Prayers for all of you.

My heart is sad for the loss of this wonderful person, who I had the honor to call Aunt. I remember the wonderful garden she always had. I also marvel at the fact that she could feed all of us on a can of tuna when we where young. Her work on earth is done but she will be missed.
I am praying you find comfort in your memories.
