Harley & Family,
I wanted to let you know how special Claire was to me. I worked with her for over 11 years and the last few were very special. I once told Claire that I admired her for her strength and courage. I am so happy I had the chance to be a part of her life. I am a better person becouse of her. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Fondly,
Amber Harllee
