I´m very sorry to hear of Claire´s passing. We had so much fun in years past taking care of all of the patients in the Faulkner operating rooms. Claire ran the Ors very efficiently and effectively so that both the daily schedule and all of the add on cases were always completed that day. As important, Claire had a great sense of humor and was always upbeat so the stressful days flew by. I looked forward to the days I was working with Dr Bev Longson . I knew Claire and Bev would be sharing stories and laughs since they shared such a great friendship. Bev has passed away as well. Hopefully they are sharing good times in the next life and we will all see each other again soon.

To Tom and all of my cousins, very saddened to hear of Claire's passing. I know that her illness was always a battle. Pretty sure Uncle Bob had his welcome mat out, offering a cold drink and a good laugh. Love and hugs to all of you. Cousin Kathy

Dearest Tom, I am so sorry to hear of Claire's passing. I have fond memories of us hanging out together back in the day. She had an infectious laugh and could light up a room with her smile. But what I remember most is the love she had for you. Rest easy sweet Claire.
