It was a pleasure to have know Claire. She and I had a fond connection through the St. Augustine Cathedral Choir. She always shared funning and interesting stories. Claire, we miss the chocolates you would share on Easter Sunday after the week long marathon of Holy Week Services. Fond memories of you.

Mary Clare you know how much I loved your mother she was a great women and a wonderful teacher. Thinking of you Colleen (McLeod) Draves.

God speed, Claire...thank you for bringing so much light and love into so many lives, including mine. I will never forget you.
