Dear Nancy, Brian, Alex and Alma,
Our deepest condolences on Claire's death. We remember Claire fondly as a little girl from our time together in Warsaw, as a teenager in Silver Spring, and all grown up in Potomac. Your own musical talents complemented her wonderful voice. She grew up in a most loving, supportive and patient family. Our hearts go out to you at this time.
Elizabeth, Mark, Thomas, Ben, and Verity

In the days to come, may you be comforted by wonderful memories of great times spent together. May God bless and sustain you as you take this journey from grief to a place of thanksgiving and joyful remembrance.

To the family of Claire Agnes Pinto--
"If we believe that Jesus died and rose, so too will God, through Jesus, bring with Him those who have fallen asleep." 1 Thes 6:14
May the grace and mercifulness of our Lord surround you with His care and comfort in your sorrow as you grieve the sudden departure of Claire. Indeed, her soul is entrusted in the care of a loving God where she now sings among the heavenly angels.
Claire's spunky, youthful presence and beautiful soprano voice will be greatly missed in the Metropolitan Music Ministry.
I have requested Perpetual Masses to be offered for Claire as well as your entire family from the Central Association of the Miraculous Medal.
May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you now and always!
