I wish I had the wisdom of King Solomon and could provide comfort to Jill, Seymour, Joanne our family and your friends but there are no such words to lift the heavy pain that we all share. Our only hope is to find joy and happiness in the memories that we shared together with you. Claire was such a beautiful person and gave unconditionally of herself without an expectation of receiving anything in return.

CLAIRE YOU DID NOT HAVE TO BUT YOU DID

Call Blake (your 5-Year-old second cousin) frequently to speak to him and see how he was doing and what was going on in his life. Most people would not have taken the time and not had the patience to even lift the telephone to make the call. Yet you spent your time and made him feel good about himself. How he will miss you’re compassionate voice and those endearing conversations.

CLAIRE YOU DID NOT HAVE TO BUT YOU DID

Arrange to pick up Blake with Joanne and take him to children’s movies that no one else would even dare go and see. Yet you spend your own money and made the time to see the movies that he wanted to see. I for one will be eternally indebted to you.

CLAIRE YOU DID NOT HAVE TO BUT YOU DID

Drop what ever it was that you were doing and entertain Blake and Jacqueline whenever we came to visit your family. We all knew you had a lot of homework and exams yet at no time were you too busy with your studies or your personal life to play with Blakie and Jacqueline.

We will truly cherish the memories and will miss you dearly and every day that goes by our deepest thoughts will be with you.

With all our Eternal Love

Nicole, Jacqueline, Blake and Larry
