So sorry to hear of the Claire's death. I remember her from the 50's. Her brother Charlie and i were classmates for 8 years of grammar school at St. Anne's. Every member of the Beland family was gentle, kind and loving.

Claire was in my regular lunch period at West High School in the 1960's. She was mostly quiet with a pleasant attitude. She will be missed. A kind person.

You were and always will be a dear friend. All the trips to Massachusetts looking for relatives trying new restaurants while traveling. We had such a good time. I keep waiting for our daily phone conversations even knowing that it won't happen. She loved the last family gathering and spoke about it so often. I miss you Claire. Love you.

I will miss you my friend. Claire was so happy to have that final dinner with her family before Christmas. She talked about it all the way home, she was equally happy to attend the West High gathering in December. It should be no surprise how quickly she made friends in her new community. We shall miss your humor and friendship. Rest in eternal peace amongst your ancestors
