Not sure what to say?

Mr. Schaefer was such an inspiration to me during my time at Claire's! He made you feel like you were an important part of his Claire's family! My heart is with his daughters and extended family for the loss of both parents so quickly,

Dear Schaefer Children:

What a terrible loss for you and your families and the community as well, losing your parents within such a short time of each other.

Again, I will always remember the good old days when their house on the little island on 79th Street Causeway was like a home to me also.

Please feel free to contact me - - I have a lot of memories of those days.

You sound like a wonderful man, and your wife Silvia as well a woman. I would be honored to stand and live where you did. To raise my children and tell them who you both were , who's home we privileged to live in.

Your parents' passing puts an official end to the Claire's family era. We were not coworkers but part of the Claire's family. May they rest in peace. They will surely live on in their many good deeds. Norma Ruiz
