Clair and Rita were like surrogate parents to me, especially following the deaths of my own parents. I have many good memories of the occasions that I and my own family were able to spend time with them.

Clair & Rita were like surrogate grandparents to me. I have never known two people better suited to one another. I feel so lucky to have known them.
