To the w To the family of Clara Wheat family from the Greene household, if I may be permitted to paraphrase John 6:63 the Spirit gives life. The flesh counts for nothing. Mrs. Wheat had a way about her that was like none other; kind, gentle, with a sincere sense of humor and laugh. The smiles love, and attention that she gave to the children at Schumacher School were priceless. She had much love for her husband and her family. Clara was a remarkable woman who will be remembered fondly into eternity .God bless you all sincerely Renee Greene and Family.
