CLAIRE A. KAZNICA

Eileen: We found your note when we returned from vacation yesterday. Our sincere sympathy goes out to you and your sisters and families. How very lucky you were to have your mom with you for so many years. Love, Myrna and Bill Schneider

We were sorry to hear of your loss and extend our condolences. The Wistaria Street neighbors knew her as thee "Nan", the Straub's grandmother. The Nan watched over David, Lindsay, and Matt like a lioness protecting her cubs, ever peering out the front door keeping them in her sight and close. They now have a special guardian angel watching them and keeping them close from heaven's door.

The funny beautiful lady
That means so much to me
May be gone from the land of the living
But with me she will always be
Because my memory holds her dearly
And my pen recalls her ways
And most of all I love her
A love that always stays
It stays inside my memory
And is often on my mind
Because a lady like my nan
Is rare and hard to find.
**Love you Nanny, Always! <3

I got to know Claire when I visited my loving friend and companion, Marshall Bowen, in Room 512. I always enjoyed talking with her, and she would tell be to be careful when I would leave to go home. She will be surely missed.

May the Lord's peace be with you three girls and family during this time. Everyone thought so much of Claire. What a wonderful mother and friend.

If flowers grow in heaven,
Lord, then pick a bunch for me.
Then place them in my mother's arms
and tell her they're from me.
Tell her that I love and miss her
and when she turns to smile,
place a kiss upon her cheek and hold her for awhile.
