Miss Clara was such a nice, sweet lady. I first met her when she came to my Mom's 80th birthday party and we were friendly from that day on. She will be greatly missed by those who knew her. I extend my sincere condolences to her family and friends. Praying that God will comfort and console each of you. Min. Tonia Z. Garrison & Family

Clara Sager-Cleveland, or "Nana Clara" as I used to call her, was the sweetest and strongest woman I ever had the pleasure of knowing. Nana helped raise my brother and me for nearly a decade, starting just a few weeks after I was born. She was an integral part of my life, and helped shape me into the man that I am today. I remember watching endless episodes of Matlock, and picking pecans with her in our front yard like it was yesterday. These are some of the fondest memories I have, and they will never be forgotten. I can't put in to words how much I loved my Nana. She will be dearly missed by the Hendricks family.
