I just found out my friend Clare passed away. I've known her since 1993 when we worked together at Pennsylvania memorial home in Brookville. I loved her. She made nursing enjoyable. She was the most sincere sweetest soul I've ever met. May She rest in peace. My condolences to the family. I'll always remember her

Clare was my mother's hospice nurse in 2019 and 2020. She was the sweetest and most kind person... she became a friend to my mother and to our family. Clare would take time to have a cup of coffee and visit a few minutes each time she came. What a wonderful lady she was! She made a difference in our lives in a short time so I can only imagine the impact she had on many family members, friends and patients over her short lifetime.
My sincere condolences to her family.
