Even as the years go by, Gene and I still remember Claire and Tom often. I continue to play cards and remember what a great card player she was. Just last year we lost another good friend, June, and I think how now they are in heaven playing cards and maj Jong together.Gene and Claire would enjoy teasing each other, but more often than not Claire would get the best of him. We still will laugh and tell stories about remember when's. Gene and I pray you can smile when you think of the fond memories of Claire.We will always miss her and think of her often!

It's so hard to believe that 4 years has gone by. I have such good memories of my dear friend, Claire. We had lots of good times together. I think of her often and miss her so very much.

Claire is remembered often. I still give her credit for the skill she taught me in card playing. We have since lost more card players, including Rosalie Yannotti. I like to think of them still playing together or maybe playing Mah Jong That makes me smile. I hope that you can smile when you have pleasant memories of her, too!
