To Clare's family,

I am truly sorry for your loss. Clare was such a beautiful person. I was blessed to have worked with her at Norfolk and Dedham and to become good friend while retired. We enjoyed many phone conversations and N & D holiday luncheons together. Heaven has received another special angel. Rest in peace my dear friend.
