She is still remembered. Too bad we couldn't clone her. Eternal rest grant upon her Lord, and may her soul Rest in Peace, Amen.

She was a true Lady. When my daughter was pregnant both Zinnos were very encouraging, but Clara was like a grandma. I miss her and keep her in my prayers. May she Rest In Peace.

Clara was the epitome of a grand Lady. She was always ready to lend a hand and cheer anyone who needed it. They were both a lovely couple. May they both Rest In Peace.

I will always remember how graciously Clara welcomed Jennifer and me into her lovely home for a beautiful Easter dinner. It was shortly after my husband had passed away and her warmth and compassion was a great comfort to us.

Clara will live in my heart forever! She and Joe, both, so enriched and blessed our lives when we moved in across the street from them in Camarillo, 30 years ago. From that time on, we had such a special friendship with them. Clara was the epitome of elegance, kindness, class, loveliness, grace, style, generosity, warmth and beauty. I treasured all my time with her and she made everyone she came into contact with, feel ever so special. 
I take comfort in having been able to visit with Clara prior to her joining her beloved Joe, and telling her that we loved her dearly. I will miss this dear, sweet, loving woman with all my heart! What an honor and privilege it was to have had her in our lives. She will live within us for all of time! 

"The tide recedes, but leaves behind bright seashells on the sand. The sun goes down, but gentle warmth still lingers on the land. The music stops, and yet it echoes on in sweet refrains... For every joy that passes, something beautiful remains." Author unknown

In loving memory of Clara, John and Camille Crawford

Dear Janice and Richard,
 I have such wonderful memories of your mom and dad and our family visits on Charles Street and then Windmill Street, during which we inevitably found ourselves sitting around the table enjoying homemade dishes and listening to stories told of my parents and yours growing up in the neighborhood. It was always a celebration when we got together. Your mom was a beautiful lady and although we were miles away, she was always close at heart. Jack and I are so sorry for your loss and we will keep you and your family in our prayers during this sad time.
Love,
Patina Irene

I remember when Auntie Clara and Uncle Pipi lived in R.I., my family would frequently visit on Saturday mornings and immediately be greeted by Auntie Clara with a delicious breakfast and coffee.
When Auntie Clara and Uncle Pipi visited R.I. for family events, they would always stay with Lil and Pete. It was always a pleasure to see them.
One summer visit trip to R.I., Rick and I took Uncle Norman, Uncle Pipi, and Auntie Clara to George's for clam cakes and chowder. On the way down to the beach there was a great amount of reminiscing, memory exchanges and a great deal of love and laughing. On the return home, Rick and I turned to the back seat to find the three of them fast asleep with their heads on each others shoulders. We laughed at how cute they were together.
I was honored to have Auntie Clara and Rich and Jan attend Ryan and Lauren's wedding in July 2016 in R.I. The amount of happiness Auntie Clara brought to my family and to so many people is endless.
Our hearts are heavy and still ache with sadness but knowing that she has been united with her true love is so comforting. Auntie Clara may be gone from our sight, but she will remain in our hearts forever.

It was a pleasure working and sharing with her and Joe at the Italian Catholic Federation. She was truly a Lady in all the sense of the word. May she rest in peace

Jan,

I can still see your mom visiting us at the dorm to drop off goodies and her latest sewing creations for you! Such a lovely, talented, and sweet lady. We are all better for having known her. She definitely left this world a better, more beautiful place! Jay and I send our love and prayers to you, Rich and all your family.

Deepest condolences to Janice and Richard and families. My parents (Diamond and Catherine Ricci) always stated that no one could have better friends and neighbors than Clara and Joe Zinno. And I believe that to be true. I also believe that Clara and Joe are again together driving a beautiful RV in a place where they can look out over the horizon and see vistas of unbelievable beauty. Dan and Joan Ricci

I was in college with Dick when I first met "Mama." I walked into her kitchen and was intoxicated by the aroma of her cooking. Then I was introduced to her and the first thing that struck me was the light in her eyes. She accepted me with open arms, not just then but every time I saw her. The last time was in October.

I thought of her as an angel the first time we met and I am sure that while she has moved on, she is still very much the same glowing spirit that I met the very first time. And her radiance has not left us, just her physical manifestation.

Bless you, Mama, for everything you mean to all of us. Thank you for the light you brought to all of us.

My deepest condolences to you and your family. She is fondly remembered by all who knew her I'm sure; she left an impression on me and I hardly knew her. Sending you hugs.
