To the Familia de Clara Martinez Cisneros...our deepest and heartfelt sympathy for the loss of your beloved mother. Clara has always been a strong, silent woman who radiated gentleness and love. God knows that we were meant to cross paths once again, because a trip back home to COS had us meet by chance at the Arc at Uintah Gardens. This is where I learned of the diagnosis of end-stage cancer for her. My heart was saddened, but most importantly, I got my chance to say good-bye. When I learned Clara had passed, I shed my tears. As you all know, she was a wonderful, beautiful woman, and she will be sadly missed.
Our deepest condolences to you her family, and may you know the love your Mother/Grandmother had for the Lord, she was well-received with loving arm's of our Lord and Savior, Christ Jesus. She is now resting comfortably in our Father's house...free from illness and pain. Hallelujah!!! Amen and Amen.
