I will miss seeing Clare around St. Matthew Church. No matter what she had going on in her life, she always had a smile and a kind word to offer! She had a special way of making people feel good! RIP, Clare! You will be missed!

To all the Barbini family, My prayers are with you and your families. Clare was an inspiration to me and our family. She was a wonderful Mom, Grandma and in my mind, a Saint. She left behind her legacy and I know, in time, she will shine in you all forever. May God Bless you all. Love to all the family.

Dear Kay and family. I was very sorry to read about your mom passing away this week. Although I did not know her, from her obituary she lead a full and wonderful life. No doubt she always had a smile and enjoyed friends and family. Our prayers will be with you this week. Best regards, Nick and Lauren Conner
