Uncle Woodie, I needed to wait a few day before I wrote because my heart is broken. I will miss Aunt Claire forever but I'm going to stop crying and start smiling because she would want that. I'm going to remember all the good times the parties, picnics. Christmas and times down at Seaside Heights so I'm going to just smile and remember her everyday. Love you
