We are so sorry to hear about Claire. In reading her obituary we could see that she was a special person with a special heart. She lived the life of four persons in her 39 years! She seemed to be very loving and fearless at the same time. We were encouraged by her story. God chose you to be her family. He entrusted her to you. He thought you were the right people to love her, encourage her and mold her character. We commit to pray for you during this time of great grief and sorrow.

My name is Nicole. I met Claire when we worked together at Outback Steakhouse in Fort Collins. We were instant friends and ended up roommates for about a year and a half. We were inseparable at that time. The last time we were together was at my wedding in 2006. She was a sweet soul that would light up any room she entered and made a lasting impression on anyone she met. I am deeply saddened to hear of her passing. She will be in my (and many, many others’) heart forever. I am sending my prayers for your family at this difficult time.

I am terribly sorry for your loss. My name is Stephanie, and I am an RN at CHildrens Hospital Orange County. I worked with Dr. Thomas in the emergency room. Honest to God, Dr. Thomas was one of my favorite Dr.’s to work with. She was always so warm, and made sure to listen to each patient, and took time to make sure they knew they were heard and being cared for. She was a pleasure to work with, and was one of those people who heard your concerns, made sure you knew she heard you and would help you. Rest In Peace. Prayers for her and your family during this time.

I knew Claire through soccer friends at Coronado. It's been a long time but I still remember her great smile. She was always so smiley. I'm very sad to hear she passed and my condolences to her family and friends.

Claire grew up one block from our family in El Paso, Texas. She and my daughter Lynda attended school together. I remember her as a sweet beautiful child. Her parents were equally sweet people. She learned her selfless ways from them. I know the crushing sadness of losing a child and my heart is deeply saddened for Karen, Tom, Trey and Steve. i am praying God's consoling grace for you all.

David and I met Claire in the Wright Family Restaurant in Berlin and were so taken by the creative space and menu that she and her brother created in the (at the time very new) German capital. We can only imagine the depth of loss that Claire's husband and family and friends must feel.
Our hearts are heavy and words fail us,
Katrine and David Stewart

My heart hurts to hear this news. Claire’s’ energy has touched so many of us. I’m lucky to have grown up with her and shared that sunshine that followed her wherever she went. My condolences to her lovely family, I wish I could reach out and give you all a hug.

She packed many lifetimes in to her 39 years. She is well loved and respected by many. I am so glad to be amongst the many who call her friend. I have shared so many laughs and late nights with Claire. Talking about life and what it means to live it. She got it. She knew the secret to living a good life. I will miss her and think of her often.

In 39 years that went by way too fast, Claire lived more than the rest of us will live in twice as many years. She didn’t waste a second. She radiated energy and optimism, and left her mark on so many hearts.
