It seems like every time I went to SAMs Club to shop and have lunch, I would run into Claire and Mark doing the same thing. I loved talking to Claire. No matter how she was feeling, she always wanted to know what was new in my life.. She was an incredible woman... Sweet, loving, kind hearted, not a mean bone in her body! I have to admit it will be a bit sad when I go to SAMs, not to look for her. I know that she is in a better place; looking over all those that she loved so much!

"God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be.
So He put his arms around you and whispered "Come to Me."
A golden heart stopped beating
hard working hands now rest
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best."
Rest in the Arms of the Lord Claire.
May all of the Riddell family find peace and comfort in Our Lord Jesus Christ.

Claire was, in a word, a joy. Always patient, always kind: never complaining. She was very talented as well and her children share those talents.
She shared her life for 49 years with her much-loved Bob, and yet I am sure it was not enough. I am sorry for myself and those who loved her, but happy that she is now free from pain and the cares of this world.
