On behalf of the New Hanover County Senior Resource Center's Transportation office, our sincere condolences to Mrs. Claire's family. Her gentle, easy going spirit was appreciated and will certainly be missed. It was our pleasure to be of service to her by providing transportation for her treatments and we are honored that, in such a difficult time, you chose to support our program in her memory.

Claire will be missed. She lived a life filled with grace, strength, and achievements. The New Hanover County Senior Resource Center was honored to play even a small role in her journey by helping provide a resource to help her access treatments. We are grateful to have had the opportunity to be part of her care and support.

I got to know Claire when her family lived across the street from my family in Fremont.
She was an idol of mine.
Absolutely gorgeous with an amazing voice and wit. She was everything I wanted to be (I was 10 years younger). Just a beautiful and smart classy lady. So proud to have known her.

This is a beautiful text I received from Claire when I was better at keeping in touch. She was a special woman!! I had to go back and look at her signature of “HIG” tonight!! What an amazing woman. Loved reading about her glorious life and contributions to this world!!
Mary Claire, Dear friend & neighbor...
I'm certain our "watch dog", Rutherford, greets you every time you run past "his" house!! Please consider that a friendly greeting from me, also!!
Thank you for the special wishes on another "Memorial Day"...You are very thoughtful..
I think of you & yours every time I look out @ the back yard fence, thinned out wooded ease-way & beyond..
Hope all's well in your realm- -& find it difficult to believe that "our cute little boys" (Ethan & Tenn) are all grown up & about to be launched into the world that awaits them!!
Again, thank you for your caring thoughts..HIG(have it good)C.
