Sister Loretta
Clyde is August’s uncle, her mother’s brother. He lives near August’s family and often visits them when they still live in Tennessee, but he’s soon called to the Vietnam War, where he’s killed. In the aftermath of this tragedy, August’s mother refuses to believe that he’s really dead and she even begins to see and talk to him as if he’s still alive. This leads to her undoing and eventual suicide.
