Aunt Claire - You were the greatest Godmother a person could ask for. You did have a infectious laugh along with a loving voice. When I remember you, I smile with the song that you sang every time you spoke. You were an amazing woman and I am so appreciative that I was a part of your life. You will be missed. Rest in peace Aunt Claire
