Claire was a great gal! We had a lot of fun, going to church and activities, running around and getting together for coffee in our homes. Miss her and her smiling face when i picked her up! . Gone too soon.

What a blessing she was to all who knew her...always smiling & happy. She was a devoted mother, grandmother & great grandmother, besides being a pillar in the church. Loved by many and will be missed by all. God bless you, Claire, Marilou Johnson

When I firt met Claire ar the annual rummage sale at the church, I was immediately drawn to her.. She became a friend at that moment, when she became sick we visited her as much as we could and was so happy she started to feel better.. She loved her church family and her family..She was a beautiful person and we will miss her terribly NANCY AND JERRY WILLIAMSON
