Deepest sympathy to the Trapasso family .I recall Aunt Clara when I was a Child and regret losing touch with her over the years. May memories of her comfort your family.

Clara and Sam took quite a liking to my son Sam when he was young. He used to sit with them in church on Sunday mornings. If they weren't in church on a particular Sunday, he wanted to make sure they were okay. If I remember right, Sam sat with them for almost a year. Remarkably, he didn't have any issue with them being deaf and they had no issue with him wiggling too much. Sam T. used to put his arm around them both and just smile. My Sam would lean against either one when he'd get tired of "behaving" and they would stroke his hair or pat his face. We visited Clara at Niagara Geriatric for several years until she no longer could see us and know we were there. I also remember her singing in sign language and teaching my son. She taught me a lot of sign language too which helped us to communicate better while she was able to see. She's singing loud and clear now in His presence.
