Claire was a force of nature, small but mighty. She commanded respect where ever she went, always taking time to listen and offer a shoulder to lean on. She was my favorite patient and I looked forward to our visits and conversations whenever she graced our office. She is deeply missed.

I grew up knowing Mrs. Elliott as her son Larry was my best friend growing up going to Rio Americano HS.
Spent a lot of time at her home she was a truly caring person & I was very Happy to have known Mr. & Mrs. Elliott as well as Laura & Larry. May Mrs. Elliott rest in eternal Peace & May God look over the entire Elliott Family.
I miss them all .......
