This is truly the end of an era for our family! Clara was always the warmest, most welcoming of my beloved late Hymie's family to us and to all who knew her. Her many kindnesses to our son, David, when he moved to Chicago, will never be forgotten by either of us. She was so bright, and added so much to all our lives. She is sorely missed. Much love to Rabbi Benjamin, Naomi and Gil, who remain in my thoughts and in my heart. Marilyn (Mrs. Hyman) Ratner
