There are no words that can fully explain the pain of Claire's passing to Susan & Mark, their parents, family and loving friends. Everyone is filled with questions of how this can happen and why. There are no real answers to these questions that we can understand non accept. We understand that we all are helpless and powerless. All we can do is hang on to one another in love and support for strength to get through each day. May the power of love surround Susan & Mark and their family.
