Claire was all about family, and she wanted to be a major part in the lives of the Grandchildren. Whether it was an 8:00 AM Football Game, State Championship, Basketball Game, Volleyball Game, Softball Game, Track Meet, Holiday Band Concert, or Lego Competition, she was there.
Claire was there for them to share the success in the good times and to provide support in the touch times. For the Children and Grandchildren, each has a special place in their heart for Claire because of the love and caring over their lifetime. Claire was the glue that held all of the pieces together. The bond will never be broken, not ever by ALS. One way to absolutely make her day was when we would take a couple of the Grandchildren somewhere and someone would say YOUR Children are very well behaved. Claire would just say Thank You, but smile from ear to ear.
You are very dearly missed, more than words could ever say.
