Claire was a thoughtful neighbor. She stopped by with a sweet doll after our daughter Sophia was born, a gesture that we always appreciated. We enjoyed seeing Claire at our backyard parties too. Tom and family, we are very sorry for your loss.

Claire and I grew up in Mineola, Long Island, and went to grammar school and high school together. We remained friends ever since, and Claire enriched my life in so many ways with her faith, her enjoyment of fun, and her never-failing sense of humor. Rest in peace, my dear friend.
