Not sure what to say?

To my lovely, kind and caring Aunty. You have always given me love and support, and I can’t imagine a world without you. Rest In Peace now, my darling and know I will always love you.

As John's sister-in-law, I treasure all my memories of my family being with Claire over the years. She was unfailingly gracious, warm, and welcoming, a loving lady who embraced everyone with her positive outlook and charm. Her love for her sons and grandsons made a deep impression on all who knew Claire. May she rest in peace with all blessings.

Rest in Peace, Love and Joy, Claire! Claire had a keen interest in all her family and friends, and was ready to help out everyone who came into her life. She willingly shared her talents in sewing, cooking, gardening, home maintenance and many other areas with her loving friends and family who hailed from a range of countries -- as well as right around the corner. Fluent in Portuguese – she was self-taught -- Clare had life-long talents in many areas that we all benefited from.

We really liked Claire. RIP

To my lovely, funny and loving Aunt. You touched and were touched by so many lives, and always tried to help. You reached out those in need, helping those less fortunate than you and of course your fierce devotion to Mike is nothing short of amazing. He is an amazing man, and he does you proud; as do John and Peter. You help me over some pretty traumatic issues, and made me feel so loved and special in fact, I think that was your special talent: making people loved and worthwhile. I know that...

Claire you had such an sunny personality, I always enjoyed our talks when you were out on your walks and I was with Miss Molly the Jack Russell. My daughter, Jill, also wishes you a safe trip on angels wings.

My family and I have so many happy memories of Claire. She was so kind and caring, had a great sense of humour and a wonderful smile.

Claire was a very loving sister and a special Aunt to Keith and Helena. Ever loved and remembered.

Always in my thoughts and the wonderful time we spent together love always Karol xxx

Rest in Peace Aunty Claire. You are very sadly missed. Thank you for being there for our family over the years. With love Claira xxx
