To Clara's Family -

Please accept my condolences on your loss. Clara will be deeply missed by many who knew her. I grew to love her very much over the years whereas she was like a grandmother to me. Always there with a listening ear and to offer her advice. I will miss my weekly nursing home visits with her. She was such a loving person with a big heart and carried so many wonderful qualities. I will hold onto many special memories of her. God Bless to your entire family.

To Clara's Family,
I was so sorry to hear of Clara's passing. I got to know her when she shared a room with my mother, Winnie Farrington, at Finger Lakes Center for Living. She had such a caring a compassionate way about her and she often came to my mom's assistance if she needed help with anything. My fondest memory of her is on the day my mom died. When she knew it wouldn't be much longer for my mom, she came into her room, kissed her on the cheek and and said goodbye to her. It was such a sweet and moving experience of all of us to see and is something I will never forget. My condolences to you all on her passing.
