Aunt Clyda was always a special person to me and my sisters as she loved us all the days of our lives and that love was returned by us. She enjoyed life and loved to laugh. We had such good times whenever she and Don would come for visits and the few times we were able to visit them in AZ. When we were young, she took the time to read to us and she was the one who involved us in church, for which we are forever grateful! I have so many wonderful memories of times spent with her throughout my life, she will be missed but one day I will be with her again. She kept the Faith until the end and now is with our Lord.
My name isSamantha ( Sam) Herr. I knew Clyda when I worked at Sugar Grove as a sever.
She was my favorite person at Sugar Grove. I always made sure she stocked up on her snacks. I visit her when I can after work. She was a truly an amazing friend I will miss her dearly.
