I was blessed to meet Claire at the wedding of her youngest sister Nancy. I was a guest of her oldest brother, Arthur, and that was my intro to most of the family. It turned out that the family became mine when Arthur and I married! This family enjoyed get togethers, laughing over Trivia Pursuit, bursting into old songs together, at Nancy and David´s home. It was quite a surprise to learn from their Uncle Bill that Arthur Norris, their father and my dad, Jim Jennings, knew each other and often sang in the pub in Brookline, MA. Claire and I, although separated by miles, shared many chats of "good ole days" by phone as well as keeping each other up date on our families. I truly find myself blessed to have had not just "Chick" as a friend and sister-in-law, but the Norris clan as well. Cherished memories.

I met Claire when I was teaching an Italian class at the Foxboro COA. I enjoyed having Claire in the class. She, the other students and I had a lot of fun. When the session of classes finished, Claire began meeting with Bernie, Fran, Paula, and me. We would have some very animated, lively discussions about politics.
To Claire's family, I am very sorry for your loss. May she rest in peace. Lucy Erhard
