To The Family,

"I know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death. They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make. Their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories. We find comfort in knowing that our lives have been enriched by having shared their love." - Leo Buscaglia

To the Clore Family:
Please know my thoughts and prayers are with the entire family. Ms. Clore was like a mother to me and I will always cherish the "motherly advice" she used to give me. I used to talk to her at times when I couldn't talk to my own mother. Please rest assured she is at peace now and no longer will suffer on this earth.
