Dear Nadia, Vincenzo, and Sabrina:
It is with a heavy heart that this letter is sent to you and your families. When we heard the news of your beloved mother’s passing everyone in our adult day program, Mountainview, as well as throughout Volunteer Services and other health-related services were all devastated to hear the sad news of Clementina’s passing.
Clementina has been such a rock of support throughout the years at Baycrest. She has given to so many, staff and clients alike. You could say Clementina was the epitome of kindness and outreach to others. She was a remarkable woman with considerable skills and empathy towards all people she came into contact with. Everyone benefitted when they came into contact with Clementina.
I worked with your mother a few years back on another service and how surprised and delighted I was to learn Clementina was volunteering in the program I transferred to a few years ago. While I am not new to Baycrest, Clementina immediately made me feel welcome.
I can tell you that every one of the staff in the Mountainview program is deeply saddened when hearing about the loss of Clementina. She was and will always be remembered as an exceptional, compassionate and caring woman. All of us who were blessed to be her friend or colleague will miss her presence dearly.

We are all so shocked and saddened by the news of our dear Clementina. On behalf of the 4E team and Peer Support Group, we are sending our deepest sympathies to your family and all who loved her.
Clementina was such a devoted volunteer. She offered guidance and support to those around her; sharing her experiences and giving hope to others. Her kind and caring nature was at the heart of everything she did. She touched so many lives and always made us smile. She was so proud of her beloved family. She loved to share stories of her garden, her recipes, her weekend outings – and everything that kept her busy and thriving. She loved people and she loved life and most importantly she loved to give of herself.
We all looked up to her!
She will be missed more than words can express and we will keep her close to our hearts.

I’m shocked you hear of Clementina’s passing. I worked with her on Wednesdays in the Senior Support Program and wondered why she was not at work this past Wednesday. Clementina was always cheerful and energetic devoted to her clients. I will certainly miss her and send my condolences to the family.

“I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
Praying for God’s Peace that surpasses understanding to enfold the family during this rough time.
To Nadia, Vincenzo and Sabrina,
Your mama was a beautiful soul. My mother, Angela Risi, rest her soul, and your mama were friends growing up. Every time that I would see Clementina, whether at another funeral or other events, she would always make time to say hello and give me a hug. I know that hug was for my mother.
I hope that they can be reunited in paradise. My mom would like to see her again.
She flew up to Heaven on the wings of angels
By the clouds and stars and passed where no one sees
And she walks with Jesus and her loved ones waiting
And I know she’s smiling saying “ Don’t worry about me”
Mrs. Bordone was a kind, caring compassionate lady who will be missed by all.
Serge & I would like to send our condolences, thoughts & prayers to Nadia, Enzo & Sabrina & their families. May you all cherish the wonderful memories of your beautiful Mom.
Dear Nadia, Enzo & Sabrina,
My deepest condolences to you and your families.
I was so shocked and saddened when I heard of your Mom’s passing.
Your Mom was the most amazing woman. She was always so sweet and loving when she would see me with big hugs.
Cherish the memories of your Mom now and forever.
She was a wonderful person and will be missed by all who knew her. My deepest condolences to the family.
Truly an angel on earth and someone that wanted peace, love and goodness in everything. Thank you for sharing some of your home cooked meals with me. Your eggplant parm was by far the best! Sabrina and I had many good times and memories talking about all the cute things you used to do. You were a woman of great style and taste and always knew exactly what she liked and how she wanted it done. I will miss hearing about your stories but also happy to have some memories. I am also glad to have a dear friend like Sabrina….her life shows all the good things you inspired and taught her. You will be dearly missed Clemmy and were taken from this earth too soon. May you rest in peace…Love, Boo
Clemmy, you were a bright light and an angel. You saw goodness and kindness in everything and your smile was contagious. Thank you for sharing your home – cooked goodies with me. Your eggplant parm by far was the best! Sabrina and I have had many good times and laughs at the adorable things you use to do…those were some of our funnest times. My grandmother for years worked at the same convent that you did, it would have been nice to know if you two ever crossed paths. You were taken from this earth too soon but have left a meaningful legacy. I am so glad to have my dear Sabrina as a friend and the good things you taught her are in everything she does. We can all learn so much by the way you lived your life and you did it meaningfully and with a pure heart…Rest in peace…Love Boo
To Nadia, Enzo and Sabrina,
I was so saddened to hear of the passing of your mom. When my mom told me I was so lost for words.
Your mom was such a wonderful, kind and loving person. When I would see her at an occassion, we would try to catch up with stories of our families.
May God give you strength and peace in the days that lie ahead and keep her memories close to your hearts.
Your Friend,
Patricia & Louie Chiaino and Family (Martelli)
My condolences to the Bordone Family. Rachel and I have many fond summer memories spending time at the house as kids, running around the backyard, and eating the BEST food. Your mom was so gracious to have us around. Thinking of you. Love, Sarah Arendse
