Claro was a dear friend in high school. He was kind hearted,caring and liked to laugh. We used to help each other with homework (he helped me with my math and I helped him with science). My sincerest sympathy to his family. Matthew 5:4

I was so very sorry to hear of Claro's passing. We kind of lost touch with each other over the years, always promising to get together "someday". We were very good friends back in the school days. So many of our old gang are now gone. But the memories will always remain. Rest in peace, my old friend.

And most of all, may the Peace of God, thru prayer, surround your hearts and your thoughts to help you keep on going without him. Phil 4:6,7
