Very sorry to get the word of Clarice passing. Always so happy, with a big smile and wanting to know how everyone was doing. So many fun times at family reunions. A special memory was Clarice and Leora coming in the door at Prairie Meadows on Veterans Day, a few years ago. The American Legion was there, with the Des Moines Radio Group, doing a telethon to raise money for veterans who were needing assistance. I saw them and called out “Nordholm girls.” They both turned and saw me and just had a surprised look on their faces. I went to them and gave them a hug and told them “this isn’t a church, are you lost?” They told me they were there for the buffet. A great day for us all. Rest in Peace Clarice. Many first cousins, your mom and dad, Mark and Sig are rejoicing that you are with them for eternity.
