My deepest condolences to all the family. Clara and I were best friends during High School at the Steinbach Regional Secondary School. We hung out together as much as we could ( and we were good girls) and had several visits later on in life. I dug out this picture which was us in cooking class. Barry Peters, Clara and myself Louise Perrin. She was a beautiful soul inside and out! As said at the Service, her laugh was infectious and she loved hard. She will be truly missed. I have fond memories of Clara. xo HUGS ❤️

Hey Shaun. Miss you bud. Your mom was a force in my upbringing. She was my second mom. I had many talks with her while you were gaming. She stitched up my broken heart a few times. This is a big loss and I'm very sorry bud.

Dave and family,
We enjoyed seeing Clara’s friendly face at church and when Stu did electric work at your place. Clara had a lovely quality in that it seemed she never met a stranger and loved connecting with each person she came into contact with. Praying you experience the Lord’s comfort and care as you grieve the loss of your wife, mom and grandma.

Condolences to you, David and family.
Clara was a schoolmate of mine and it was always lovely to meet up with her in subsequent years. She had a beautiful personality.

We will always remember Clara as a rare soul with an infectious energy that matched her infectious, laugh, smile, & joy.
She was beautiful not only in her outer appearance , but the way she lit up when she talked about people & things that she loved, and the way she made other people smile. We’ll never forget the fun filled night at Maxime‘s, and the once in a lifetime experience you guys gave us with the catered meal at your cabin years ago
Dave & all the family …our hearts hurt for you, as the loss is great.

My husband and I met Clara in Calgary AB as she and David visited with their son, Shaun, Madelyn, and grandchildren. I remember how Clara stood out in a crowd! She just had this joyful, bright energy about her. One didn't have to enter into conversation very long before you knew that she loved the Lord. Please know that we are praying daily for the family, loved ones, and friends. I think of the scripture: To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Truly Clara will be greatly missed, but I am certain she is spreading that same joy all over heaven right now. Our sincere sympathy, love and prayers. David and Kathie Schiedel, Fonthill ON

My Aunty gone way too soon. I always remember how bubbly her laughter is and beaming smile. Sadly the last memory I have was in her final days when I went to see her. It was a blessing because I would repeat over and over again " how I wish we had more time" and she would say cherish the time you have with loved ones. It really resonated with me and I will never forget it. R.I.P Aunty god bless.

This was such shocking news. I will miss her JOY & exuberance, her hugs, her encouragement, her laughter, watching her sing in the choir and just having her be part of my church family. My deepest condolences to you David and the rest of the family. This is a rough road for you. With continued prayers, Bev Friesen

I cannot imagine the grief that you’re all going through,
Clara was an exceptional lady. Her and I spent many childhood hours playing together at family visits/functions. One of the very first things that pops into my mind to this day when I think of Clara is her laugh, which in turn makes me think of Aunt Susan as their laughs were so similar.
I am so terribly sorry she had to go so soon but we all know that Clara has made Heaven an even better place to be.

Clara. Colorful. Always smiling and caring. She'd pray for someone immediately after hearing that person was not doing good. Her eyes always sparkled as if looking for the next person to bless. I will miss you LOTS! Clara! To the family, our deepest condolences on her passing, we rejoice as she sings to her Lord and Saviour! James and Adeline
