Add My Condolences

Mashed potatoes; one of the many things I'll remember about my beautiful sister-in-law. Clara made the most amazing mashed potatoes and brought massive quantities to every Keer family gathering! On a more serious note, Clara was a bubbly bright light for many years; outgoing, friendly and loving. She always made you feel welcome. Her children and grandchildren were her world. Tim, TJ and Nicole, may memories of the good times and days comfort you. RIP, Clara.

Ill never forget someone like Mrs Keer. I spent night after night in her home having sleepovers with Nicole and living out high school years. Truth is, the Lord set out for me to have multiple parental figures in my life. Nicoles parents were some of the most funny and loving people to have influence over me. They helped take care of me. Rest in peace and tell Jesus I said hi!
