I am sad that we will not be seeing Clare anymore. She was a regular customer at our restaurant (Old Plank Road). We will all be thinking and talking about her when we re-open February 1. She was such a sweetheart and always looked so pretty. She loved to socialize with everyone. Your mom will surely be missed.
