It has been such a pleasure knowing Clara and her family during her stay here at Chambrel. I miss her smile and how she always told me I was "fibbing" when I would tell her how pretty she looked that day. We miss her and so does Stuart. Thanks for taking such good care of him and for being a part of our lives. love, Annie
