I was so shocked to hear of Ms. Clarey's passing at church on Christmas Eve. I was looking for her the day before (Sunday) when Bridget and I went to church at Sacred Heart. I wondered why she was not there and thought perhaps she was coming later to help decorate the church as she always did for Christmas. I could not believe it when I heard that she had passed. Rest assured that she was spending Christmas in a better place with Jesus. She was such a wonderful, kind, funny lady who I looked forward to seeing and will always remember with such fond memories.

My whole family sends their love and condolences for your loss and sadness that none of us knew or we surely would have been there. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
