Read MoreClaire was my godmother and was always loved. As the son of her brother Eugene we always got together for holidays. I always loved her Canadian meat stuffing for a Christmas. She was a master of cakes too. She lived a long full life and enjoyed every minute. Shell be missed.

Claire was a wonderful person. In addition to being first cousins, I also worked with Claire at Mount Holyoke. When I first started there, our offices were near each other, and Claire was instrumental in my orientation to the college; she was never too busy to advise or to lend a helping hand. My condolences to the family; Claire will be sorely missed.

Claire was always a delight to talk to. I always enjoyed our times at the pool and discussing the books we read and shared. Be at peace , I'm going to make your favorite pea soup in your honor tomorrow.
