Dear Joanna and family,

I'm so sorry for your loss. The hole in the fabric of your life will take time to heal. Please take time to celebrate Clare's life by looking through those photo albums and share in remembering the many years of joy you had together. Eventually these memories will be of great comfort to you.

I'm just so glad I got to visit with both of you on one my trips to Chicago.

My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Love,

Terry

Donna, I know what it is like to lose your dad. I truly feel your pain. Clare stands out among the relatives because the few times I visited y'all, he was ALWAYS the one cracking jokes and making the visit so much fun. We always felt welcome. My deepest condolences to you and your family. Love, Vicki (Mikolaitis) Flores

Hi Joann. I still remember the good ole days in Cicero with Grandma, and how much I enjoyed being with you, Clarence and the kids [I was still a rascally kid myself LOL]
I was so sorry to hear about Clarence, as I know him and my dad and us had such great times together. You and your family will remain in my memory for a long time.
I enjoyed talking with you on the phone that day, and know it was a difficult time for you and I shared your grief.
May the Lord bless you and yours with peace, happiness, joy and love always.
With condolences: Steve, Mary, Tracy, Marcy.

Dear Skiris Family,

May God Bless you and may Clare rest in peace now without pain. He was a good hearted person. I will miss him telling me jokes during family parties. I am sure his is watching over all of us now.

I will miss Claire. He was very much loved by his family.
