My mother, Jean Bradley, worked with Claire and enjoyed their many years at WTC. She passed in 2006. I'm sure they're having a reunion.

I am so sorry to hear of Claire's passing. We worked together for many years at WTC. Honestly in all those years I never saw Claire with a frown on her face. She was always smililng and never missed an opportunity to say hello. After she left WTC I would see her occasionally around Wilmington and even though her employment changed her personality did not. I will miss you Clare. Rest my friend.
