LOVED MY Mom, despite family issues.

She was a kind cool Lady, world traveler and with lots of common sense and LOVE.

I was glad she taught us, books are your friends and read and sang to us at an early age.

Kissed the Blarney Stone at age 64, world traveler, would hook up with folks everywhere, never had a bad word to say about anyone, only once.

She Was frequently picked out of crowds to be in TV shows and soap operas in NYC and California, like Password among others. Would go to the head of the line like places Studio 54, 2001 Myrtle Beach they would let her right in, my bro and I, well we got a kick out of it. She would come visit me at ECU and go party with us. Caught her stealing my weed once after Dad died with a date, the whole story is too funny.

Would take us to Cotillion, swim lessons, museums, art galleries. On and on.

I returned to USA in 2002 to start to care for her. She passed at age 84, casualty of the evil corrupt greedy amerika so called medical system, husband abandoned her 1 1/2 months before they ended her life.  I was with her, when  she passed to God-Thee Light,

she is with me quite a bit in my dreams and creative visualizations. I am continually blessed, she says Hola

I am in possession of her collection and after a few years I have decided to liquidate her antiques, art and collectibles, all with a story.

Clarice's Pertinences with Provenance

I will reach out to some, however I will most likely do an online auction, however with a set low end, if not sold it goes in a container and then to El Salvador with me. I prefer not to, but I will NOT go less than an anticipated or consulted value.
