I am so sorry to hear of your loss. My heart goes out to your family. Claire's life was too short for such a bright and talented young woman. Know that as an artist and member of American Women Artists, I appreciate your generous donations in honor and in memory of Claire. We will keep her spirit alive with us as we create our art.

Claire was an amazingly talented student in my drawing class a few months ago with the special gift of seeing the three dimensional world and transforming it to the two dimensional drawing paper with clarity and painterly grace. We are all so very sad at her passing.

I never got to say that I love you Claire, you where one of my best friends and you will be forever missed. I loved how you always joked around and where a beacon of light to guide us. Today was hard to deal with but our friends swapped stories about you and the best of your life. I love how you where such a free spirit and how your light will never fade from our memories. ❤

Claire lit up every room she walked into. We all miss her bright personality and her beautiful soul. She made us all laugh harder than we thought possible. Our hearts are with her family and all those struggling with this loss. She is incredibly missed and forever loved. Rest in peace beautiful.

We have had so much fond memories of Claire over the years as she was growing up, especially her many elegant performances in Vermont Chinese School Lunar New Year celebrations. We will remember her forever.

Claire was a delight to have in my Painting, Ink and Color classes at CVU. It amazed me that she produced such fabulous artwork even though she was so young. She was truly a gifted artist and sweet young lady. I, and the entire community, will miss her so much.

I hope that good memories of her will help you find some comfort. I share a heavy heart with you and your family at the loss of this precious young lady.

Dear Deng Family,
My heartfelt condolences on this very sad loss.
Claire was a light in the ballet studio - she brought humor, kindness, and love into the space and created close friendships with the other students.
Her easy going personality and smile brought comfort and ease to a rather serious subject of ballet, and I always loved having her in class. Ballet seemed to give her breath and freedom and she danced with an effortlessness and fluidity that I appreciated. We will miss her gentle presence.

Elizabeth Brody

So heartbreaking to know she left this world so soon. She made an imprint on a lot of people's lives in the short time she was here. May she rest in peace. Our thoughts are with her family and all those struggling with this loss.

Dear Jieru, Bin and Clark:
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Claire will always be in our hearts. With deepest sympathy.
