My family enjoyed many years as neighbors of Claire and Therman. We appreciated her humor and have missed her as part of the neighborhood.

Claire was a wonderful friend when we lived in California. I enjoyed teaching with her at Jacoby Creek. My son and her daughter, Claudia were classmates from kindergarten through eighth grade. She was a woman to be admired.
