Andrea, although she currently lives in the USA, was Sr. Clare's student at the Holy Family School in Playaprieta, Ecuador. She confesses: "I can't look back and remember a time when I didn't see her giving of herself. She gave with constant joy. I saw her giving, donating herself, spending herself." In particular, Andrea remembers and is grateful for advice Sister Clare gave her at a time when she had to make a decision that would determine her future.
