You can make a difference for the future of two young boys

This is a post that no employer ever wants to write, however we believe it is a story that should be shared. Our company (Iovate Health Sciences International Inc.) lost a valued team member, Clare Tenuta (née Corr) who passed away suddenly on September 30, 2024.

However, this story really begins several years before when Clare met another passionate and amazing member of our family named Victor Tenuta. Clare and Victor’s story is one of friendship, love, devotion, sadness and hopefully one of being reunited.

We lost Victor, far too soon, far too young and unexpectedly on September 28, 2019. Clare and Victor were married and were the proud parents of Bryce (now 15) and Oliver (now 6). The loss was a shock and rocked our entire Iovate family and of course especially Clare, her sons as well as Clare and Victor’s families.

Clare was a devoted, caring and loving mother to both of her sons. She was a positive, energetic and hard-working member of our sales team. Our employees as well as the customers and other external partners that Clare worked with often shared how much they enjoyed working with her and how much they appreciated her contributions. I am sure you have heard the expression that someone “lights up the room” when they enter, THAT WAS CLARE.

After her passing, we have been overwhelmed by the outpouring of support from our current and previous team members, customers and everyone whose life Clare touched and there are many. The primary question has been, “Where can I donate to help the family, especially the boys?”

For those who choose to donate, all funds will be directed to the appointed trustee for Bryce and Oliver.

Whether you choose to donate or not donate, hopefully you will keep Clare, Victor, Bryce and Oliver in your thoughts. As an employer we value our team members and their contributions to our organization, but we are prouder of who they are, what they do and the values they embrace outside of the company.

We miss Clare and Victor and were very fortunate to have them on our team and as part of our family. The void is very deep, but our memories are even deeper and longer, they will never be forgotten. Our hope is that they are reunited and are watching over Bryce and Oliver.

Thank you.
