Ever since I saw your daughter's obituary in the Tribune, your family has been in my thoughts and prayers. Our eldest daughter passed suddenly, and unexpectedly, two years ago this month at the age of 42. She was the eldest of five daughters, and left behind her husband, and four children. It has been a difficult journey, which I couldn't have gotten through without my faith. I truly understand what you are going through, and will continue to pray for all of you. I wish you peace.

Claire's signature smile I will never forget. There was an undeniable radiance about here, and when she entered a room, everyone's mood improved instantly. Always up for a good time, a good laugh, and a smile...that was Claire. I've only known her for a couple years, but I can't tell you how happy I am to be given the chance to get to know her. I'm extremely sorry for your loss and my heart goes out to your entire family.
