Dear Pecho/Pinto Family,

Please accept my sincerest condolences to you all.

I never got the chance to meet Clare, but judging by those that were close to her, I'm sure she was an absolutely wonderful person to know and will be missed greatly.

My prayers go out to you...

I am very sorry for your loss. There isn't enough space on this site to tell you about all of the wonderful things Clare did, and how much she meant to me, and all of the staff. She will remain in our hearts and in our thoughts for a very long time. I worked closely with Clare, and thought of her as more of a friend than a co-worker. She taught me so much about finances, but also about life, just by watching how she lived hers. I miss her.

Sincerely,
Marisol & the girls
