To Claire's family. Claire was a wonderful woman who gave all she had to her family. I will remember her moving quickly shopping at the Foodtown, but taking the time to talk to all of those who spoke to her. I hope you all find comfort knowing she is with the love of her life, her husband Charlie. Lyne Burkard Frey
