Claire was a dear friend since our 3rd grade. She was the only friend that I had remaining who knew me as a child. That was special. Claire was a loving, giving person, who was very intelligent. I enjoyed our long phone talks about many various topics. I also am grateful to her for becoming our son's surrogate mother. Love you, Claire!

My gosh! I knew Claire was ill from the last time we spoke, but I had no idea she had passed until June 2, 2019. Both Michelle and I are very sorry for your loss. She was a wonderful person, and a great boss.
I hope you all peace and know that Claire loved you each completely.

"Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies. The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil. She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life. She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness. She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness. Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her." Proverbs 10:10-12, 26-28.

May her memory be eternal!
