July/2014

This was after we left the cemetery when we were honoring and remembering our Dads. It was 2 years since your Dad had gone home to Heaven and 1 year since my Dad had gone home to Heaven. It was a beautiful day. I know I cried but I also know I laughed. Our Dads would have wanted us to end in a celebration. 

 I can’t think of anyone else more special than you 4 that I would want to share this bond with. I am so thankful that we had each other to lean on, to love and support one another. Family is Forever and I thank God that y’all are mine ❤️ Love you 

This picture was taken so long ago but I love it. And I love how Destiny had to be there too with all of us. These are the memories I am holding onto. Love you ❤️

Thank you for inviting us to celebrate your birthday with you. We had so much fun talking and laughing all evening. Vanessa and I already talked about how we will honor you for your next birthday. It won’t be the same but we are going to celebrate You and the journey you lived. You deserve that. I don’t know anyone who faced as many battles as you, I will never know anyone as strong as you. I will never understand how you endured so much and still managed to defeat every obstacle that was placed in front of you. You were living proof that no battle is too big. You conquered and crushed everything they said you couldn’t do. You are a testament that we can do All things through Christ who gives us strength. If I ever learned anything from you, it’s to never give up, to keep fighting, to smile through the pain and most importantly to love with my whole heart. This isn’t goodbye cousin, it’s until we meet again....Love you Clare ❤️

Clare treated my siblings and I as if we were her nieces and nephews. Always ready to protect us as if we were one of her own. I’ll never forget when she told me she would beat someone up for me. She said she was saved but she would ask God for forgiveness. Her strength and determination inspires me and the love she showed us motivates me to love the way she loved. ❤️

Don’t worry Clare I’ll have a perfect margarita for you. Cheers up in heaven. I love you! ❤️ 

You were always nice but you always let me know that I better be good to Alexa or else. You loved us all Clare, and you treated us good, you are already missed by all of us. We will see you one day soon.

Clare, I just want to say Thank you. Thank you for being an amazing Sister and Tia.  Thank you for always being there for me, whether it was being at my Bachelorette party, sending a random text to let me know you were thinking of me and the family or being there for the birth of all of my babies.  You are the strongest person I will ever meet. I will miss all of your selfies, texts, Facebook posts but more than anything else, I will just miss you.  
My Family loves and misses you.  Give Dad and Jack a kiss from us.

Your little sister

Clare you were my friend since kindergarten but when we got to second grade what i remember most is that when u came to school in ur wheel chair it was like no one wanted to play with you. So i remember at recess i would push u every where .. From that moment on we had become best friends. Then one day i had to move away and i missed you so much. Until 8th grade year i came back and we use to hang out here and there and again i had to move away.. But when we got older and i got my own place it was like we picked up where we left off. You met my kids and u became a big inspiration to my desiree and u girls would keep in touch through fb. We were suppose to bake and we never got our chance. But its ok u let a impact on so many lives clare u are and were a true fighter i luv and miss u so much. Save a spot for me. Best friends always

It's been 1 month today that uve been gone. We miss YOU so much! 😢

On February 18, 2021,  God needed a beautifully perfect, brave and the strongest angel He could find and He found exactly what He was looking for.   My beautiful Clarissa, I know it was your time to go but why does it hurt so much?  You struggled your whole life but you never gave up.  You were always such a fighter with so much strength.  I know you don't have anymore pain and suffering but it still  hurts so much, my Clare, to not have you here with us.  I know you are rejoicing with your Dad, who was always your hero and Baby Jack.  We will love you forever and never forget you Clare.

Your heart broken Mom

Even though we didn’t have any recent pictures together I am glad I have this one. I am going to miss you Clare. You were always so nice to us and you always showed us love. You were our faithful Cowboy fan. Until we meet again. I love you cousin 💙 Thanksgiving/2012

Our annual Christmas cookie contest you were the judge that year.Katelyn won they said it was fix.Sabrina and Jacob had fun with the  whip cream, you took this picture.  You were always behind the camera but for ever in our hearts ♥️ Thank you for the memories 


Even though we didn’t have a lot of memories together I do remember all the stories my sisters and mom have told me about you and they always made me laugh all the time, every time I watch the cowboys play on tv I always think of you. Me and my family will miss you and you will always be in our hearts 

One of my fondest memories of Claire is that every opportunity she had to give me a gift for birthdays or Christmas would be a hoodie because she knew I loved hoodies and what made them special is that they always had a saying for example like “faith” “courage” and “Be strong “ I don’t know where she found these but they are very special to me and I will always wear them. 


My dear Prima, you had quite a journey, carrying your cross. I've always admired your strength., a true champion. The way you were always so proud of your family. Just as IT should be. I love you always will, and I truley believe you are in Heaven. Thank you, bc of you I have my Orosi cap. It's not goodbye, it's see you later. Rest in Peace. Blessed are you that gets to see Jesús. Amen

My favorite memory of Clare is every single one. Clare loved so effortlessly and wonderfully. She NEVER missed the opportunity to tell me how beautiful or talented I was without ever asking for it. I was working on her art wall and I loved every interaction and conversation we would have. Even if it was a simple instagram comment or casual text, Clare was always intentional, and I will forever admire that. 
The Bible says in 1 Corinthians 16: 14 “Let all that you do be done in love,” for this is the final commandment Paul gives the Corinthians, the first four being to be alert, firm, mature, and strong. Clare lived this way, and I wholeheartedly believe that through adversity she continued to gain strength and learned how to love with all that she has. 
Clare, you were my biggest supporter, and I will forever miss your comments and love towards my art, but if you think I’m going to stop painting for you and your wall, then you are wrong. I’ll continue to fill it with your favorites, even though no piece of art is as beautiful as Jesus, I know you appreciate it. 
Going to Tia Mary’s without your jokes and laughs will never be the same, but I know you are in complete joy. You fought the good fight, and I can’t wait to see you again! Give Jesus a biggo hug for me. xx
All love, your favorite blondie, Brina 

As tears run down my face,  I wanted to let the world know how faithful you were to my family!  You made Christmas, birthdays and every family gathering special.  Seeing the joy you brought to Katelyn with every gifts that you gave.   She always asked what box did Claire give me... and it was always followed by a huge smile.  I love you and my family loved you!  I just hope to give back some of that faithfulness!   Enjoy the grandness of heaven! 

Friends since kindergarten!  All my school memories include you. I will always have you in my heart. Fly high Clare! 

Thank you for buying my first cowboys jersey, Clare! We were blessed to have you part of our family. Thankful you are experiencing healing and health tangibly. Give my grandpa and Tio vale a hug for me. 

Love, 
Tiff

I keep replaying those last moments with you in my head and I can’t figure out how we got to where we are today. It doesn’t seem real that you aren’t here with us Clare. There was something so special about you and how you made us feel. I always felt safe knowing you were close by. I pray that you are living the life you deserve, pain free and with your Dad. Hug my Dad for me and save a place for us. I love you so much and I will cherish every memory I have with you. Until we are all together again. I love you cousin. 

Cousin you are going to be greatly missed by all your family & cousins. I will forever remember your big smile & taking selfie’s with you at family gatherings.  Your strength & courage will always be something to aspire to.   Rest in Everlasting Peace Beautiful.
