To all of Aunt Claire's family,
She will be missed. She was always so thoughtful and loving and caring. She had lots of love to go around and then some. She was so sweet. I didn't get the chance to get to know her as well as I would have liked to, but I was glad to know her for as long as I did. She was a wonderful person. My daughter, Haley, talked to her on the phone while she was in the hospital. She said that she would go to the hospital and hold her hand so she wasn't scared. Aunt Claire wanted her right then and there. I wish we would have all been able to be there. I'm glad all of her children were able to be there with her. That meant the world to her.
I wanted to send my condolences. And send all of our love to the family. God bless.
Love,
Billy, Leanna, Haley, & Trent Hulse
