I'm practically sobbing over an old woman I didn't even know existed until today. Rest in peace.
Ikrrr...
Ain’t that truth... just such a lovely, warm presence with such strength. I hope she is at peace.
Same 100% cried over this and 2 other videos of hers. Shows how truly amazing she really was and watching all of us still watch her and her channel. Rest In Peace with the Lord Clara and to her grandson... please keep making videos on this channel.
Same. The room is filled with onions 😭
That chair :((((((
I wanted to cry when she said that she’ll cook a special meal when she turns 100. I’m sure she did up in heaven.
Amen.
@Archos Copelin you must be fun at parties.
The Republic of the Philippines How would she even come back? No offense. Hate to break it to you but once someone has passed, they can’t resurrect from the dead
The Republic of the Philippines Yes
@The Republic of the Philippines that's here son posting them.
I am 75 and love watching her videos. I’m glad she had a grandson who appreciated and loved her.
I wish you a long and happy life 🥺
Hi am so grateful to have been able to know such an amazing human being Clara you will be so missed by many but never forgotten. May God bless you and rest in peace .
Almost 10 years and I still come back to these videos. It's like visiting an old friend. Thank you Christopher.
When the video started off and she wasn't in her chair... I cried :{
:(
vital hygiene same
:(
It's funny how an empty chair can do that. Walking into my parents house after my dad passed and seeing his empty chair in the living room makes it hit you really hard. 😥😥😥
Same 😖
When she said that she'd make a special meal on her 100th birthday. That hit me deep RIP Clara
Omg I started crying like uncontrollably! I just found this channel a few days ago and absolutely LOVE old days stories! Now I am in the rabbit hole n going thru all her videos and cant stop crying! Such a beautiful beautiful soul! Unfortunately that is dying off with the last great generation and that is so damn sad. We can learn so damn much if we open our ears!!!!
Meg J lol she was and still is in the afterlife funny (I’m going to believe what ever i want come at me religious people)
Hdhdh Ndjdhdhdhdh What? theres not that many people that think that here only 5% of her viewers believe that
Good women You left us a lot RIP Clara
CrazyMario 20389 I’m just trying to make people feel better about her death your not making shit better🤦🏼♂️
Lovely lady ❤ I discovered these videos in 2024 and love them
I am so saddened to learn of Clara's passing. I discovered her channel by accident this year 2023. Her legacy lives on through her family and her simple yet beautiful videos. Rest in peace dear sweet Clara.
Me too! Wish I could have meet Clara in person 🦋
I just found her videos, what a beautiful person she was. She passed on my birthday, November 29th. I'm going to see my Aunt next month, she is 97, I can't wait to see her. Rest in Heavenly peace Clara. ❤
I'm 50 and my grandma is still alive. She's 96 this year. I live in Australia and she lives in Texas. I've just bought a ticket home from Qantas to see her in 2 weeks because of this video. Thanks mate.
How was the visit
It was excellent!! Broke my heart because she wanted me to stay but my life is on "this side of the pond" and had to come home. I promised to spend next spring and summer with her so that will give her something to look forward to hopefully. First thing she said to me, in her southern drawl. "Now you aint got no bidness all the way over there in Australia!" If life were that simple. :/
Keo Eng I want to know too!!!
Awww that's awesome (:
Joe shit the rag man, hope your granny is ok? let know the trip went 😚
When she said “if I do live to be 100 I’ll cook a special meal for all of you.” Omg I can’t 😢😞
it's okay. Clara wouldn't want us to be sad, she'd want us to take her experiences and learn from that.
Sicily Damara I know, but I’m going to miss her and the stories she told. It was like listening to my great grandma, when I was younger.
Just a quick check to see if anyone else has missed her like me✌🏻💐🕊🕯
🙋
Yes indeed! Bringing her recipes today
❇️🌹❤️🔥AMEN❤️🔥🌹❇️
She'll continue to help us via her many recipes. It's 2024. I'm still checking back for her recipes... Thank you Ms. Clara..You were and are treasured.. *Fly High!* 🍃🕊🌷🙏🏾 🌷🕊🍃
You didn’t have to cook a special dish All of them were already special :,(
Kate Archer this fucked me up 😭 I was holding it together fairly well before I read that.
I agree but I still would of loved to see one though
Dylan Ezell so sorry :(
The main thing is that she was surrounded by people who loved her ❤
as soon as i read that, it choked me up hard, rest in peace Clara
“I wanted to share nana with the world, because she was my favorite person in the world”. That got me wow.
Wonder if she was brave/wise enough to vote for Obama in 2008/2012.
Janice Metzger aw, that doesn’t matter.
Janice Metzger I’m very, very political, but this just doesn’t matter, here.
Пошла на хуй this stabled me in the heart, too. Ugh!
Me too 😭
2023. Who is still loving on this wonderful lady . Thank you for sharing
Been watching your videos for about many, many years when she was still alive. You have honored your Grandma forever.God Bless🙏🏻. I have the DVD & the book that I still use today. I myself am 73.
Watching this during the COVID-19 lockdown in 2020 and this really hit home. Anyone else really wish we have Clara's wisdom right now?
I do. But I'm grateful for the pieces of her we had the privilege to see here on this channel. 💜
trancelove1234 I cook like this now. My daughter told me the other day that ‘Mom,if you had a couple cups of flour and 1 egg we would have 1pound of macaroni ( real recipe) She’s 19 now and knew that recipe at 2
Yes. 😭
I watched all of them last night and was struck by her a truly remarkable lady x
Me too!
I just started binge watching this channel because I fell in love with her.She's been gone for a few years now.. and now I'm sad. RIP beautiful soul 💕💕
Yeah. Same
Me too....
me, too. Just found her today
I just saw the "Poor Man's Meal" and was preparing to settle in to watch more and find that she has passed. Thank you for preserving her gifts to the world. ❤❤
Jay's Nest Me too ='(
I've been struggling to keep up with inflation and put good food into my kids. I just found Clara, and I'm so very glad you're keeping her channel going. My mother was a child of the depression, and the knowledge of those generations is slipping away so fast. I'm looking forward to watching the many videos Clara left behind and I appreciate her knowledge and compassion. It's amazing to leave a legacy like this behind, thank you.
My mom's turning 95 this Nov. She's having some problems getting around but she's sharp as a tack. Things are getting harder for her to do. I wish I had her wisdom. RIP Clara 6/30/2022
God bless you and your mom.
Marc luv your mom like you never have my father was 93 I still miss him he was so independent you don't realize how much you miss them I'll they r gone bless you
Now we all understand why Clara’s generation was referred to as the “Greatest Generation.” She embodied that so well.
The greatest indeed
Amen to that. A generation faced with such hard times where there was no choice but to learn how to truly live.
World War 2, the Holocaust, Great Depression, and so many other instances her generation had faced as children and young adults. There are many, many of them with the most amazing stories and wisdom that humble you and fill you with gratitude and awe. But they have been passing on in recent years and soon we will no longer enjoy their company and all of the wonderful things they have to share, like dear Clara... so that's why we have to protect them and when all this is over, make sure to spend a lot of time with them. It's what I've been doing from age 13 to now (35)... from all walks of life and cultures. I have a group of 11 surrogate "grandparents" of that generation that I meet with every other week. When the covid-19 outbreak hit USA they urged me to keep coming to Bible study. I insisted that I stay away until it all dissipates because they're my precious friends and I don't want to risk their health, especially since our leader/teacher has an aggressive cancer. Treasure this generation. They truly are the Greatest ❤️
@@ShaunaCheungBoSaanWOGO respect.
I found Clara during Covid 19 in March 2020. I'm so sad to hear she has passed away. Thank you for sharing your Nana with us. A true National Treasure.
I’ve just found Clara today!still under lockdown April 2020!What a lovely lady and she must have been very proud of her grandson!❤️❤️
I just found her to ...im missing my Gran even more now
What a sweet lady she was. Reminded me of my Dads Mom ( my Grandma) which she is past on as well ❤️
❤️
Just found Clara today, and feeling sad too. She is such a sweet woman.
Came across her Dandelion video and ended up here. What a lovely woman. I'm so glad you shared her life with us :)
Hi there. I only found Nana Clara’s KZhead channel a few days ago. Thank you for sharing her with us, thank you for realising how amazingly special our older people are. Sending lots of love and hugs, all the way from South Africa from another person who loved Clara❤
"I wanted to share nana with the world because she was my favorite person in the world" 😭❤ oh my gosh. The wholesomeness and heartache all in one message.
THANK YOU !!!!
Dakota Switzer yes!!
That's when I lost it!
Your Nan brought a proud Italian influence.
Aww. Seeing this in 2019.. Nana is still living on in the KZhead algorithms.. We love you - RIP Nana..
Corrie Allen I’m crying my eyes out reminds me of my nan
@@giannasawyer7466 She reminds me of my "Nanny".. What a wealth of knowledge they all had behind those sweet exteriors.. Couldn't even begin to imagine all that they saw and endured...😉❤
She was beautiful. Finding beauty and happiness in times when happiness was hard to come by. My childhood was mostly spent in poverty, but the happiness my family shared never allowed me to see life in a negative way. Clara reminds me of that every time I watch her. She makes me feel that goodness can still survive in this world. :)
Algorithms? Whats that?
An amazing Lady
It's July 2023 and she is still touching our lives. May she rest in peace.
I feel so blessed to have found this channel.
Seeing that empty chair at the beginning just broke my heart.
it stings bro 🥺🌧
Sara Anschütz yes. 98 years.
I think we all felt our hearts break. The loss....
:( ☹
I cried after watching her all these years
On a platform that is filled with so much bullshit, this woman was a bright light and a breath of fresh air, and easily one of the best things to ever grace the internet. I regret not finding her channel sooner. But that's how KZhead works unfortunately. They don't reccomend anything good. If she only knew back then that one day she would be immortalized on a cyber space known as the internet. Thank you for putting her out there for us to enjoy her stories, her recepies, and her beautiful nature, her smiles and positivity. Our generation could learn so much from her... May she rest in peace.
😔
Just because it's filled with a lot of bullshit, doesn't make the hidden gems any less shiny.
It's a good thing KZhead's recommendations actually work for at least once to show this masterpiece
LiveLoveLift92 you should be as lucky and as well liked as this woman. You’re what is known as a hater. If you can’t say or type anything nice then do not say or type anything at all. Peace out on your Live Live and Lift! Not!!!
@@maclady Read my comment again and see where the hate is. Saying there's alot of bullshit on the Internet is not hate. it's just truth. Saying positive things about Clara is certainly not hate. So please feel free to quote my hate for the world to see. Only person being hateful and negative here is you.
I'm sure none of us thought we'd be facing another great depression. Thank you & Clara for giving us tips to survive a little easier. Ty ♡
I am crying about this sweet lady I didn't even know. She has made me smile and really think about how important family is and memories. Rest in peace Clara.
Hello I am so sorry if this sounds weirds but you wrote such a nice and wonderful comment on here and I like your comment. I can tell you're a very positive person. If it's okay with you I'd love to be friends
You’re a wonderful grandson. Thank you for helping capture these things and sharing her experiences with the world.
Absolutely priceless!
And the thousandth like for you, mate.
Yes, what a beautiful grandson
I came from a dysfunctional family. I only tell you this because I feel so lucky to have found your Nana. She's very much like the grandmother I'd wished I had. What a fortunate man you are for having had such a wonderful grandmother. Mine was bitter, mean, sarcastic and racist. Even as a young kid, I knew she was a hypocrite, somewhat abusive and a horrible person deep inside. I have no idea what made her that way, but I was not even sad when she died. Near her death, she called me to her side. I was in my early 20's at the time, and working obscene hours and barely surviving. About that time I came to realize that she never offered me any real advice, no one had. I had not been given the wisdom that comes with age, and as a result my life was much harder than it needed to be. Your grandmother was everything mine was not. I told my grandmother that I forgave her, just to make her feel better, but I did not. I still don't forgive her for her cruelty and mean-ness. I only have a couple of memories of her being even remotely kind, even to my grandfather. She didn't even have a good excuse for this type of behavior, her life was pretty good actually, she had security and a nice home. It's always kind of an amazing thing for me when I happen upon people like Clara. I wish so much that I had been fortunate to even have one family member like her. I've always and I do mean always been somewhat jealous of people with a happy family unit. I've often felt like a plant that is starving for the sun. I don't know how to explain it that well. I'll never know what it's like to feel that warmth, and be around it. It's something that money cannot buy. It's something that more people need, and the world would be a far better place. Rest in peace, Clara.
Dear Midsummer. I am sorry you have bad memories from your grandmother. Mine was like Clara, a saint. Please take the difference that you know exists, and live your life in a kind and generous way. Love all those around you. Forgive those who are troubled and forget their transgressions. Life is short. Be a Clara. Life is beautiful.
well said. i only got to see my grandma for 1 extended period of time, about 6 months...then sparce here and there over the years before she died. My grandparents live out of the country and i have only been able to see them rarely....i am sometimes jealous of people that got to have the experience of "going to grandmas" or eating "grandmas food" or anything of the sort.....i guess we aren't all going to experience everything in life....guess thats why life is so unfair.
It is so sad to read you story. Not every one has a Grandparent like Clara but when you grow you can become that loving, thoughtful person in your family. You can leave your children with sadness in their hearts that you are gone. You can become everything you have always wanted other people to be to you. Remember that unforgiveness only hurts the one who is doing the unforgiving. The Bible says we must forgive as we want to be forgiven.
Midsummer night you can go and volunteer in nursing homes or assisted living and have elders to talk to. They love company and could tell you stories and wisdom
Midsummer night I'm truly sorry for your memories of your grandmother I hope your life gets better God bless you
The greatest generation that ever lived. So tough, so humble, so loving.
The empty chair intro was just too much. I've literally only watched like 4 of her videos. Why am I crying so much? Rip, Beautiful Soul. 😭
me also!
Me too.
I was watching her for years. When I watched this video when she passed I felt like I got kicked in the stomach. And years later I still watch her videos. What an awesome woman with a great sense of humor. Such a gift for her family to share her with us!
I watched Clara tonight for the first time. She made lentils, rice, steak, and a simple salad. I'm thinking about what Clara & her family went through during the depression, and thinking about what our Covid-19 world is going through now with sickness, hunger & food lines. I'm crying like a baby because there are so many parallels and so much uncertainty. But Clara brings me hope & comfort tight now. Her family was incredibly fortunate to have known & loved her. So Clara, long may you run on the other side. Thank you for cooking for us. Your memory lives on.
Almost had me in tears too. Just watched the dandelion salad video and when I saw she had passed away it was even more strange to watch. But so much knowledge. Glad her grandson had the brains to record the stories.
Please, never EVER take this down! She is precious, her wisdom is so wonderful, and her common sense refreshing. I am still watching as t here are many shows I haven't seen yet.
I love watching Clara's videos. It reminds me of my Mom who passed away in 2023. She was 96. I can't wait to see her again in heaven.
I periodically come to watch Clara's videos. I just realized today that Clara and my mom shared the same bithday just different years. I lost my mom a year and a half ago. I have all my momma's stories in my heart on how she survived ww2 in France as a small child. I learned so .much from my momma and how important it is abd was to keep a well stocked pantry you can pull from so you didn’t starve to death when food wasn't available to buy like i saw during covid. I saw entire grocery stores wiped out just before the lockdowns. And months after, it was hard to get certain things. And look at now, food prices are really high, rice will be on short supply, etc. Having a garden to supplement you groceries helps. You can freeze your surplus or learn to can it up for later use. Ms. Clara shows us how we can cook simply to survive. She also confirms what my momma told me on how important having a garden is.
She's STILL making a difference!
Yes!
Tammy Hagger yes love her videos
Yes, I only discovered her about two years ago- several years after she had passed!
Legend says that Clara is still cooking some good ol' hot poorman's meal with a bit of seasoning above the skies of heaven.
Yo Boi Chang she's gods personal chef.
Anthony izquierdo Yeeeeea
Yo Boi Chang stab me i sub
Yo Boi Chang No, she's done with the poormans meals. she's cooking the best quality meals we could never even begin to imagine.
Yo Boi Chang . I just bet she is pleasing everyone in heaven with her meals. God bless her soul!!!!
My mom didn't like me and she definitely hates cooking. Years ago, my heart claimed Clara Cannuciari as my mother. My sincerest thanks go to Christopher Cannuciari for sharing this dear woman with us.
WONDERFUL LADY 💙 THERE AREN'T MANY LIKE HER LEFT ...CLARA CAME FROM AN AWESOME GENERATION!!👍🏼
I just found her today, then I find out that she's been gone for years. I cried. Just that quick she has affected me. Wow! I'm so sorry for the loss of this wonderful grandma.
Im crying too. Im very very sad
Reddy Allen that happened to me too 😢
Me too Reddy
Me too!
Sameeee 😭😭😭😭
bruh it’s like 5 hours to 2020 and i’m over here crying over a sweet old lady that died years ago. :(
spam.saharrr who's bruh?
spam.saharrr you’re a very sweet person ♥️
Me too, God bless Her Soul
I feel the same ! She was a very special person and I appreciate all she brought to us!!!
I am so glad I happened upon these videos. Clara reminds me so much of my sweet grandma. Thank you for sharing your Nana with the world. My grandma was born in 1918 so I've heard those stories and just treasure them 💕
God bless you for keeping her memory alive. God be with you and your family and friends. 😊
I'm watching this on the tenth anniversary of Clara's passing. I've been a fan of her's for a few years now. My parents were children during the depression and lucky enough, as Clara was, to live on farms, grow their own food and keep livestock. They never forgot the lessons of those hard times. They learned frugality and how to make something out of anything. My mother used to make fried smelts for us when we were kids. Smelts are back in the grocery store, so I'm here looking for Clara's recipe. Thank you, Christopher, for your project of love, and for sharing your Nonna with the world!
I discovered her after her passing. I enjoy watching them when I can’t sleep, soothing. Thanks for sharing.
I just found her today. 4/25/20. That's an awesome amazing legacy to leave behind tho, if you think about it. To still be teaching after you've already left this plane years previous. And to know she had to go thru the great depression, saddens me. I started looking around for vids to help stretch, and "make something from nothing" meals (as my aunt's used to call them. And wound up coming across this absolute angelic gem of a soul. I know he's amazed at how may new fans this pandemic has made fr hs Nana. I'm in a sense, glad she didn't have to experience it.
5:31am rn my eyes are wet and my heart stings. i’m so thankful for her:(
Sean Same here. I so enjoy watching the videos.
Over 8 years after her passing, she's still inspiring and helping people. Thanks for sharing her with the world!
Watching June 2022, I knew when I saw how long ago the first videos were that she could not still be with us, but my heart 🥺 bless her beautiful memory
Yes thanks for sharing her we need her now more than ever we are about to be in a nother depression
This is so very true. I just found these videos, I'm struggling to get by and I am watching these videos to learn how to make meals for my family. God has truly blessed us with this women's beautiful presence. Clara, I hope you are smiling down on all of us and helping us along our way.
Just found your Nona, have appreciated her recipes, thank you for this amazing legacy.
Beautiful legacy from a sweet, humble lady! Just as beautiful at 98 as she was when she was young, just in a different way! Christopher, thank you for sharing your grandma with the world. She reminds me of my own sweet grandmother: Catholic, humble, sweet, gentle but strong, practical. Your grandma was and is a true gem! (if your grandma comes to greet you on your last day, you know you're headed for the right place! :). Blessings.
I am currently 12 years old, and I may not like to cook and bake, but I will help keep her legacy alive by learning to cook her recipes for my family and future kids. We will all miss Clara, but one thing we won't miss is how good her food is and how her life inspired and is still inspiring young and old alike. R.I.P Clara
Oh bless!
You are very articulate and quite wise for such a young age. This was a lovely comment you left and it's genuinely so uplifting to see kids who are observant and caring and ready to infuse more kindness into this world. Wishing you all the best.
@@EverAppl14 Thank you, I have recently turned 13. I've been observing some of Clara's older videos and have been attempting to recreate them. Being honest, it's really fun and the food always takes good.
I've been watching her videos since I was very young, I'm glad I was able to copy a few of her recipes, I'm also happy that there are still people watching and making her recipes, shes resting easy now ❤️
@@em34327 Are they good, and btw, which ones did you make?
I saw this video and went to see my great aunt who is 98. We sat and made some baby things knitting. Enjoyed laughing and talking about farming with horses and eating a basic meal. I am going to see my other great aunt who is 100 next month on her birthday. My great grandma lived toa 102 and we still make the foods she taught us. Not I am teaching my grand children. RIP Clara. God will eat well
Im literally tearing up...this is 2019 that Im watching this..just found her yesterday.....your photography is amazing too....and thank you for making this and sharing her with us.....
I just came across her channel today, and I’m already in tears 🥺😢
I just found her last night. Watched several and subbed. Tears streaming. Resolved to keep watching. And. Sharing. Praying more are Blessed and Learn. Joy. Peace. Long suffering All The Gifts she displayed.
Same here!!😭😭😭😩
Just found her today. She was so kind. Rest In Peace.
Tammy Porter same
You’re a grandson wise beyond your years to understand the value of the wisdom of our elderly. They literally hold the history of our country in their experiences. The pain on your face and in your eyes is evidence of the love and respect you have for her. I know it’s been several years by now but I’m very sorry for your loss and hope that her memory brings you smiles and peace.
Well said!👍🏻❤️💐
Mallory Jines Beautifully written 💜
So very true💕💕💕
Mallory Jines Awh, sweet. 💕💜💕💜💕💜💕
I loved Clara's little giggle. I love that she enjoyed most every moment of her life. I tend to have an on elderly female in my life. I think it is because I never knew my grandma's. They died young. Now, at 77, I have lost my older friends. I am so glad Clara passed peacefully. She left many good memories for others, and a wealth of good information. I just watched the Italian ice video, and I feel I have known her forever. You are so lucky to have been in her life.
Today is Aug. 28, 2022. I’ve watched each episode several times. Thank you for sharing Nana with us! I too fell in love with her. She was beautiful, loving, caring thoughtful and humble. Her stories are so endearing and make me grateful I got to know her.. All because of you, wonderful Grandson♥️🙏🏼💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐
Hello I am so sorry if this sounds weirds but you wrote such a nice and wonderful comment on here and I like your comment. I can tell you're a very positive person. If it's okay with you I'd love to be friends
At least she's in heaven with her husband, her son, her parents, and her brother. They're all well-fed up there.
Terminal Lumbago true, I read her son died at only 44 years old, one year before her husband:(
Nicole Macal Her son died seven months after her husband did
@@terminallumbago6465 what happened to her son? its probably going to be hard to find reliable info

I'm a 20 year old male. I don't cry, I just really don't cry. But this woman, who I just got to know who she was, made me cry so much, so sooo much. Rest in peace Clara❤️
@@iguana6746 same as me man
You did a good thing and have a wonderful gift for future generations 🙏🕊🌟💝
You were so blessed and I regret not taking pictures/videos of my mother! My husband used to tell me to write down the recipes of my mom and I thought I would.....I have plenty of time - but then - she had a TIA and never came out! I wish more people were like you!!! God bless you!♥
When she said "if i make it to 100 i will cook a special meal for all of you" and at that point i completely lost it and started bawling
Slipknotfan314 I'm bawling right now dude
@@derekdouglass4739 It's been 6 months since I made this comment and it still gets me
That hit me soooooo hardddd 🤧💔
I feel like we all just lost a grandmother. That tune in the beginning without her really hit hard.
X D 😭😭❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I agree. The tune makes me happy but very sad at the same time now.
I’m new to your grandmas videos..what a blessing it must’ve been to have her around to learn from..and I love her recipes
What an amazing grandchild to capture & share such an extraordinary woman with the world 🌎 ❤.
I just found Clara today and now I'm crying, I don't really cry at all but finding a random video of some nice old lady cooking apples with sugar on them and then finding out that she died 5 years ago really tugs the heart strings. R.i.p Clara, my respects go out to the family.
That's exactly how I found her channel and now I'm sad
Me too except today
fly daze that’s exactly how I found her, today. I’m glad she lived a great, full life and found peace, but still I’m so sad...
Same exact video but I found it today but now I'm crying Same thing happened when I found the channel angry grandpa
I’ve been finding many channels with very nice old people and many times I do not watch as I know one day it will end. I do not regret watching all of these wonderful videos. And I’ve watched this video many times over and over and even now on like the fifth time I’m still tearing up. I myself have felt many impacts of death and it’s still shocking when I find out even though I know it’s coming. She really would’ve loved to see the positive impact that she’s left to every single person who’s watched.
”If i live past 100 i’ll Cook a special recipe for you” oh no.. why are my eyes so wet
I'd have to cook a few meals if I made that promise for every 100 years.
I miss this sweet lady, I still watch her videos
It's almost 10 years since your Nana passed away. I am currently working on moving myself and my children 5 hours so we can be closer to our family. Mainly because my grandmother is 85 and so dear to me I cannot imagine staying this far from her in her last years however many there may be. I really hope to hear and maybe even record some of her stories and recipes, sewing tips; all the things she taught me when I was a kid and she was the most energetic "older" person I have ever know. She has only very recently slowed down. My heart goes out to you. Thank you for sharing your sweet Nana
Hello I am so sorry if this sounds weirds but you wrote such a nice and wonderful comment on here and I like your comment. I can tell you're a very positive person. If it's okay with you I'd love to be friends
She was extremely blessed to have such a caring grandson.
oh yes 🌷💞 And what a wonderful lady🍎🍒⚘
And as he makes very clear, he was very blessed to have her as well! 🙂
Yes she was
I came across her channel about 10 minutes ago and I’m nearly crying cus I can tell she was such a beautiful, sweet person.
Same

Nikkilosophy OMG SAMEEE
💯💗💯💗
I’m choked up bad. Crying. She is such an angel. Never met her but I miss her . My dad told me at his moms , my grandmothers funeral “ Look around son. The only ones hurting right now are the ones that are still alive”. To this day I still believe that. It gives me hope.
So glad you documented her stories and recipes. I ordered her cookbook. We are going to need her wisdom more than ever in the direction we are going. We are about to enter into the 2nd depression. In a way it's a blessing, she won't have to go through it again.
I watched a couple dozen of her videos before I saw she had passed several years before I watched this one. I felt like I had lost MY grandmother. Thank you for sharing her with me.
She sounded so optimistic even when talking about her death. "I would like to live past 100 but idk if I'll make it. If I do I'll cook a special meal" I hope when I'm old I'll feel the same way about my death
Same! I'm terrified. But maybe if we do our best to enjoy our time, by that age we will be just as content with the idea. I have a phobia of the thought of death, but I did read once that nature compensates. That our bodies release a chemical in our last moments and we are at peace. I don't know if it is true, but I hold onto the possibility.
Angelic LIKE I have a phobia about death too. I’m terrified 🥺
@@BeautifulMixedKids I feel pretty sure that everyone feels a bit freaked out when they think of the day they no longer exist. I've spent so much time worrying about it. Naturally I think it is reasonable to be freaked out by it. But I find myself believing more and more that there is so more than this. It will be like falling asleep. You don't know you have fallen asleep until you wake up. Try to think of it that way. ❤
Im scared to. But I think a lot of that is because we're young and have the need to accomplish. When we're older, hopefully we'll feel fulfilled.
@@Nootlest I can see that. 💯❤
I just happened to find the "poormans meal" video and I fell instantly in love with her. I'm sorry about your loss. It's clear how special and precious she was to so many, and she will be missed. What a great sense of humor she had and what a wonderful lady. Thank you for the videos.
I can't believe all the videos my family watches and this is the first video I've seen what a lovely woman I wish I had video of my grandparents. this is so wonderful...love the videos
Oh same!! ... bless her heart. RIP lovely lady
I just saw the poor man's meal today, so wish I'd seen it sooner! Reminds me of my grandmother.
yes I found her videos through the "poormans meal" video I'm sure she is in heaven RIP Granny
I just found her also and instantly fell in love. I kept watching her videos until I came to this one. Oh my, what a treasure she was. Her grandson is an amazing man and truly the gold standard in how one should treat their own family members. I am so sad now, but also glad she had such a full and amazing life with family around her that loved her so much! We should all be so blessed :-)
Reminds me of my grandmother, I learned so much from her and I pass on things I learned from her. Thank you. My father is at that age and slowing down.😢
Was a joy watching her cook and listening to her wonderful history. Thank you so very much for allowing us into your lives. Thank you dearest lady ❤❤❤❤❤
Little did we know how much Clara’s cooking would help us survive right now in 2022. She is an icon. The grandmother I never had.
I totally agree! ❤️
Me too. The grandmother I never had. What is this beauty about grandmothers?
This is so true ,litte did Miss Clara know that people would be seeing her videos of how to make affordable, simple,tasty and fillling meals to get by on in 2022. Today August 12, 2022. I love her attitude when she said in the video where she was making onions , potatoes peas and pasta, Miss Clara was saying it was hard but we made it. I think hardness in a person's life if you take it the right way it develops you. I really love her Miss Clara's attitude.
I followed Clara before she passed away. My heart was broken when she passed but! her legacy lives on because this weekend I'm making Peas and Pasta for my grand kids! :) What I really want to do is make those cookies she made with her grand kids before she passed away! Maybe I'll get to do that during the Holiday season this year!
My thoughts exactly.
My heart broke when she said she'd cook something for us at 100.. It felt like she was my own grandma and that she'd really cook for me.. RIP Clara, we miss you.
It is now 2023 last year I found Clara. I have always gardened. I love her, even though I didn’t know her.. I learned from my dad and he learned from his dad. She’s such an inspiration and I have a boyfriend who this year his mother passed away at 98 and his aunts in Italy who is also 98 passed away three months apart, one maternal and paternal. That kind of simple, eating and cooking, build strong and hearty people. And very heartfelt. I can only thank you more than you know, and Clara to open heaven for presenting her like this. I am glad that she acquiesce to having a little show because this is super important. I hurt my back this year and I’m recovering. So this year‘s garden is paired down, but because of all the compost in the front garden where I grew watermelon and sunflowers and tomatoes, the ground was perfect for dandelions, so who did I turn to? Well, of course Clara my cell is slightly different. I have all kinds of other veggies in it, but it was her that reminded me the bounty that is just given to us from above and to make use of it and it’s so healthy. I googled it everyone out there google dandelions make a dressing that has a little sweetness to it if you can’t handle the bitter. Because like in life with a sweet we do get the bitter but that can be mitigated with a little honey or maple syrup. Nevertheless, a delicious salad was just consumed. Thank you Clara. Valencia
OH! I am feeling so blessed, today is Clara's birthday and I didn't know it until I saw her birthday on the screen. God bless you Clara! Happy Birthday, Sweetie! We miss you and thank you so much for letting us come sit in your kitchen and listen to your stories, it's a home I never had, so thank you! God bless you (her family) for sharing her with us! What a blessing! ✝🙏💟
Clara is a great example of why we need to respect the elderly, they have so much wisdom from experiences to share with us.
I literally cried...
The US unfortunately is one of the worst countries for not respecting their elders. It's a shame. I wish we would learn from a lot of other cultures who DO respect and love their elders just as this grandson did.
Amen yes they do
Oh Clara. As I sit alone in my office frustrated by this debilitating virus, I am so thankful I found you on KZhead. You have touched my heart in such a way, I am forever grateful for you being here, both in physically and spiritually. I am 65 and beginning to ponder what lies ahead for me. You have given me such hope in knowing there's a better place ... Eternity with God and with you and so many others that I've loved throughout my life. Fly free Sweet Lady!! You are truly loved.
I feel so blessed to have come across this and what timing.I've been gathering rice and beans and lentils
Very well said!!!
Janet Gureski I’m also in my 60’s . Janet your not alone . Her videos are comforting . And I also ponder what lies ahead . But we like her be matriarchs . I will continue to pray for us all and for you Janet !!
@@annmcauliff4528 Thank you Ann. God Bless You!
Just discovered Clara today. Thank you. I enjoyed it greatly.
What a sweet woman she was. May she rest in peace with the Lord ✝️
It's more than 6 years after your grand-mother passed (12.31.2019) now. I want to thank you for sharing some of your personal life with her in this and her memorial video. You were so kind to take time on the day she passed to inform and to connect with us on KZhead. Thanks so much. Respect and appreciation.
What a beautiful lady.... Heaven has gained another Angel...she's making everyone laugh in heaven... What a delight to be around..😇
I ran across your Grandmother a few weeks ago, not knowing she had already passed... Then I learned the truth. Thank you so much for memorializing her and sharing her with the world. I can tell what a sweetheart she was. This is so special. ♥️
I just discovered her a few months ago myself.
Thank you for having the wisdom of what a treasure you had in your grandmother and willing to share her with us. She was a blessing and a beautiful soul. God bless her. She radiated, patience, wisdom, love and a great sense of humor.
I just discovered her video just a few days ago. It was the dinner that included the potatoes, onions, hot dogs and spaghetti sauce. I cook something similar with sausage instead of the hot dogs. I am so glad to see other ideas and embrace them into my own menus. Thank you and I look forward to seeing more of your recipes. Thanks to your family for sharing Clara with us.
Powerful, heartfelt, honest. Thank you for sharing.
I just came across Clara 2 days ago. I was looking up knitting and crocheting from the Great Depression. Thank you for sharing the beauty that is simplicity.
Oh my lord I just watched the depression breakfast video and clicked on this WHY NO
leonella rudiyy same I’m crying now

In memory of Clara on her 103rd Birthday. I've been re-watching her videos over and over again these past few weeks.
She brought a grace to the world. Thanks for sharing her memories with us and the depression history my grandparents n parents lived thru. they were a great generation. may she walk hand in hand w her Lord n loved ones. Vaya con Dios my darlin'
Love and respect to such a wonderful woman. I will continue to watch your videos as long as they are up. Every meal you cooked was special because of all of the love poured into it. You were truly a blessing to this earth. 🪽🩵🕊️
its hard to believe that this November will be ten years since her passing. what a beautiful soul she was. i hope she's looking down on us with a huge smile on her face.
I have enjoyed your precious grandmother, you are a wonderful filmmaker.Thank you.
She came from the stars, let her return to them.
Perfectly said
But she also took earth and learned to survive here longer than most. She was a strong woman here those stars need to get ready because she shined so bright here no telling what she will become there.
god dammit i’m tearing up
666th comment
She came from the stars?
I... Why are there dislikes on this video? This woman was awesome.
Ur profile pic is me rn
U shud at least take this vid more srsly and write ur comment without these abbreviations m8
Because they disliked she died.
I completely agree. What an amazing, beautiful, intelligent, creative, I could go on and on, woman. Some ppl will just dislike anything, it seems. Maybe some ppl don't know what dislike means.
::: Then of course if you like it could mn you like that she died
I have enjoyed watching Clara so much. Thank-you for sharing. So beautiful ❤❤
I am very glad this lovely woman had such a loving family and happy old age. May her memory always be a blessing to you.
I just found her today. January 24, 2021. She is still a blessing. ❤
Just Me we found her on the same day, an amazing woman ❤️
This lady is amazing and I’m so glad I found out about her today❤️❤️
Just watched Clara's video that her grandson lovingly made & put on in her memory today...& I was hooked! Wish i had asked questions of my own grandmother, on my mother's side. I Only really knew her for about 3 years ...in my teenage years.... & ... as a teenager, I. wasn't that interested in older people. Selfishly. I really missed out on her wisdom & knowledge & the unselfish beauty of the old days... even though it was the Depression & there was scarcity of products, but, there was much love in families & they were happy.... To me. ...they had so much wisdom to give us. I sure wish I had asked more questions & learned more from my one grandparent... who was living for such a short time in MY life. Makes me want to be a really good G'parent to MY OWN grandchildren. I just pray I am....in even a small way. 🙏❤️🦋
Just found her today 12 Feb 2021 ✨ What a great way to pass, peacefully in one’s sleep 💤
I feel like there's some weird things happening on the 24th day of a month because I also discovered something that I will never forget on the 24th of March 2021. It wasn't this channel though, it's something else
Dont be sad she is in heaven seeing her mother and family
Catstok vids oh yeah yeah comrade she is an honorary general of the army
Once you go to heaven everyone is your family 😃
Yeah, but he's still allowed to be sad and mourn. She is no longer in his life and he will not see her again until he dies. That is sad. Losing someone is sad. Don't ever tell someone not to be sad over a death.
Frost Leis BUT SHES IN HEAVEN!!!!! IN OUR HEARTS!!!!
Frost Leis My great grandmother might die in a few years! 😨
Clara is alive to me in every recipe I have tried. Thankyou for sharing her, she was indeed very special 💔...( BTW.. it's 2023 now) also she was beautiful in both photographs. You are an amazing young man, smart enough to recognize the value of older family members.
Wow I just discovered this channel and I couldn't be anymore grateful. To Mrs. Clara's grandson: thank you so much for sharing these videos with the world. These videos are pure treasure especially because of the times we are living in today in 2022. I enjoy the recipes AND the wisdom she shared with all of us. May Mrs. Clara rest in eternal peace 🕊
