I am just learning about Claire's passing. We kept in touch through Messenger for several years. She graduated from Norwood Senior High School, Class of 1974. She was such a sweet, kind and caring person. I will post a photo of her from our school days soon. My deepest sympathy to all of her family that she loved and cherished so dearly.

Dear John
I was so sorry to hear of the passing of your Mom. I always enjoyed the time I spent with her. In recent years we got to reunite in Stop and Shop I always asked about you and her face would light up as she filled me in on what you were up to. I will miss her and her wonderful smile.

Dear Stephen and John, We are very sorry to hear of Claire's passing. She had a great sense of humor, and she was always smiling. We met when our children were at SMSH school years ago. Our deepest sympathy, Anne Adams and Family
