Aunt Claire you will be greatly missed. You will be remembered for your quick wit and contagious laughter, love for sweets, especially fudge, aversion to snow, but mostly for your generosity and kindness to others. I will never forget how unselfishly you took care of TJ and Jen whenever I needed you to. You are one-of-a-kind.
We love you and will miss you. ~Connie
