Maryanne, can’t say how sorry I am over your Mom’s passing. I got to know Claire through you. She must have been an amazing women to have earned such love, devotion and respect from her daughter(s). Maryanne, I wonder if your family members have any idea of the many hours every day that you spent nurturing your mother, loving and supporting her and seeing her through to the end of her life! I know you will miss her for the rest of your life. I miss seeing you everyday at the nursing home and I never pass Claire’s unit without thinking of you both. Love, Ruth
Paula and family; so sorry to hear about your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Please accept my sincere condolences. I worked with Paul for so many years at Bradley Hospital. Paul and Claire had been part of our many celebrations. They were always a loving, caring couple to those who knew them.
With Warm Regards and Healing thoughts,

I remember meeting Mrs Cardin 19 years ago with her son Bobby, and from that day on she insisted that I call her mom. She and Mr Cardin has opened their hearts, and showed me nothing less than love when they welcomed me into their family… I’m missing you already Mom.. My sincerest condolences to Patty, Paula, Maryanne, PJ, Billy, Sean, and Bobby
