My sweet Claire was such an inspiration to me and my family. She loved the Lord so much and daily lived her faith. I treasure all the times we spent together. I thank God that He took her home so peacefully. I will miss her immensely but I know she is with her Saviour and her loved ones and that I will see her again!
