Dear Quitanne and Maya,
I was a close friend of your aunt Dana and hung out with you, your mom and dad many times both in Marin and after you moved to Aptos....I sadly have lost touch with Dana and your mom Claire and am truly sad to hear she has passed. Your mom helped me a TON and I have through the years felt such gratitude for her light and love. Warmest wishes.
Carol.

The community has lost a very special person. Claire gave in so many ways. She was a tremendous support for me many times during the past 25 years. I used to tell her I'd graduated, but still kept coming back for tune-ups. I'll miss her.

Dear Quitanne and Maya,
I remember your mother--and you both--so well from our kindergarten days, Quitanne. I'll always remember Claire's wonderful voice and the strong, loving image of womanhood she imprinted on my young mind. Warm and happy memories from your Corrolitos home fill my mind today. I hope good memories comfort you and all of Claire's family and friends.
Warmly,
