I was a student of Ms. Malloy, and what a small world, I am figure skating now and my coach is her best friend Cathi N. She was my favorite teacher during the Museum School High School classes long ago. I always have fond memories of her. Such and Angel now.

I am so sorry about Claire's death that I just learned about, a year later. Unfortunately we lost touch after I left the Museum classes. Like Virginia, I recall her very fondly and remember how prroud she always was of you, Susan. Peace to you and yours.

Claire was a dear friend to my mother. I take joy thinking about all the laughs they had at the Solomon Lewenberg School. We are thinking of you, Susan.

Dear Susan, Happy memories of your mom with her students in the MFA flood back. Her smile and knowing but gentle laugh always seeing the joke in our silly human behavior! I'll never forget her generosity at those times. I have thought and prayed for her and you over the past several years. May she and you peacefully rest after these years of trial.

As little kids, we were in awe of our cousin, Cinderella, in the dance recital! As time went on, we grew to know and love her spirit, integrity, kindness and humor. Did I forget talent? Goes without saying!

God bless and keep you, Claire.

I will miss her presence, her talents, her joy at little things of life, her love of all animals. Claire was taken from us in many respects due to her illness but we love her for all that she is. My love and condolences to her daughter, Susan, her sisters, Ellen and Kathleen, and her extended family of nieces, nephews and cousins. Claire and I were friends for 60 + years - a long time indeed! Claire is now in the presence of the Lord Jesus!
