Clara helped take care of my stepson while he stayed in Pine Manor for over 20 years. She was a mother to him and took him under her wing. I will eternally be grateful for it. She will be missed by so many in the care home and beyond.

Rest in Peace Mrs. Lagorio. I remember visits with Mike when we were in High School. Mom and Dad will meet you and show you around Heaven.

To Clara's family - I am so sorry to hear of her passing. She was our family neighbor for many years and was always there when we needed her, especially in an emergency. Not to mention all of the cups of coffee shared across kitchen tables. My heartfelt condolences and prayers are with you all.
