Typically, Clare's biggest concern was that when she passed away we would all be really upset!! She was determined that everyone realised that she had lived a full life - loved her family and friends - enjoyed her work and was very proud of her children.
She wasn't interested in becoming dependent on other people and retained her wonderful sense of humour and dignity throughout her illness.
I remember her as a proper human being - aware of her own fallibility - but full of empathy and understanding.
I was lucky to have had the chance to love her - and proud to know she loved me back.

God Bless Dear Claire a very special lady Sleep in Peace 🙏

Lighting a candle and remembering Clare, with sadness that time was too short to really embrace my new sister. In this short time she made me feel loved and cared for and i will miss her bright and loving spirit.
Sending condolences and very best wishes to all the family.
