I tried calling Clarita tonight to tell her to "meet me at the piano tomorrow" because I had a corsage for her. When the message said her number was disconnected, I called the front desk. That's when I learned she passed away 2 weeks ago. I am heartbroken! Condolences from me and her Youngstown and Steubenville area families. (I let them know.) Tomorrow, Sunday Feb. 23, 50 young students from the Junior Fortnightly Musical Club of Cleveland will be at Clarita's nursing home: Brookdale Westlake Village to provide an afternoon of music. The community service was set up months ago. We were looking forward to providing some fun for 'Rita, her friends, and Brookdale residents. She loved music so much! Instead, we will dedicate the 3 recitals to her memory. If any family or friends would like to join us, the recitals will be at 2 o'clock, 3:15 and 4:15. I will wear Clarita's corsage in her honor...Rest in the sweet arms of Jesus, Clarita!...Your second cousin, Patti
