Clara met her husband Tony in 1988. He fell in love with her eyes from day one. Their courtship lasted six years and they were united as one on August 14, 1994 because this day signifies the day they met. Two young sons were born from this union. Clara and Tony enjoyed traveling to Louisiana and Las Vegas. They spent every waking hour together. The love they had for each other was a match made in Heaven.
