We are so deeply saddened to hear of Claire's passing. A beautiful, kind person who truly made the world a better place. I always loved bumping into Claire when visiting my parents. She had a remarkable gift for making people feel seen and genuinely happy in her presence. I will miss seeing her beautiful smile. Our heartfelt sympathy to Donna and all of the Monagle family.

May the spirit of three carry thee.

I will miss our little talks across the street with each other and how you lit up your fence surrounding LIGHT to all of us neighbors. Our hood will be a little dimmer but the memories of your LIGHT will still SHINE when ever I look over there. May all the happier times sustain your loved ones during this time...
