I am so sorry for the loss of your Mother and friend. I only knew her for a short time, but in the time I did see how sweet, loving and caring she was. On one visit with her, someone was calling out for help and she perked up and wanted to help. I told her that if she helped, I would need to help her up off the floor we laughed. And laughing over that silly bear was unforgettable. I loved our visits and miss her very much also. A mother's love never leaves us.

To the family of Clare Easton:
I knew Clare and Miami Middletown and through her many civic activities. She was such an asset to the community, and a good friend. We frequently teased each other, since my name is Lee Ann and her daughter is Liane. I think I had both Liane and Drew back when I was a substitute teacher in the early 70's. We will never see anyone like her again. God bless you, angel Clare.

Dear Jean, Lean, and Drew,
I have great memories of your Mother. She taught a Chinese cooking class downtown and My husband was in it! I still get to enjoy some of the things she taught. She was always so friendly and full of life. God bless you.

I have told many of my friends and colleagues about Clare Easton's impact on my life. I was blessed to have her as one of my mother's close friends - which meant as a child I spent much time at the Easton home - from the late 1950s on. I remember being exposed to many, many international foods and ideas while staying at the house on Croydon Lane. Jean, Leanne, Drew - my thoughts are with you today and want you all to know that your mother will be missed by many and that she leaves a lasting, powerful legacy. Rest in Peace, Clare.

Kind Regards,
