I really loved working with Claire. I loved doing things for her when possible and loved being her buddy. She had a lot of integrity. I'm going to miss her tales of daily adventures. I'm very saddened and surprised by her passing. Good bless.
Also, yes, she was quite impressed by her granddaughter!

I am saddened to hear this news. I have gotten to know Claire better over these last years while she worked at Landmark College. We spoke almost daily when I would see her in the dining hall. She always asked me how my brother and mother were doing. She filled me in on the latest milestones passed by her granddaughter. Claire was very proud of her and adored her. I will miss seeing Claire, her kind words, and friendly presence. To John, Steven, and all of Claire's family, I send my sympathy and am sorry for your loss.

aunt Claire always sent me a birthday card a week late. She was very dedicated to her work and was kind to everyone. We will miss her.
