To John, Carolyn and the many caregivers that have become part of our family, you held a special place in Clara’s heart. Clara will be sadly missed by many nieces, nephews, cousins, godchildren, friends and by the extended Bartolotta, Esposto, Smith and Stang families. Clara was an amazing person who spent much of her life helping others. She will be dearly missed but never forgotten. One day at a time. Special thanks to the staff of the Juravinski Cancer Centre Medical and Radiation, Oncology, Palliative and Pain Control teams and the Juravinski Hospital staff on C3 Oncology, Surgical and ET for their compassion and care during Clara's illness, especially over the last few months.
