I just found out about Clair's passing. I met her when, I was just turning 12 years old, her son Paul is my best friend. Paul and I planned at this age, and stuck with it, whoever died first, the other would get the others fav stuffed animal. Paul's being a stuffed cat and mine being Thumper the Disney rabbit. Clair was like my Mom, she was always there for me when anything happened, that, was just too much for me to take. I will always love her as my Mom and dearest friend. I'm so sorry Bobby for your loss, she was one of a kind. I will always be proud to say I know her and spent so much quality time with her. Even as I got older, she would ask me for help with some crazy thing Paul had gotten himself into. I was more than pleased to help. Paul was a handful! I remember I became an expert at catching Crimson, her pure white cat she loved so much, when he'd escape out the side door and up the tree. He was an indoor cat. She made sure even her cat was safe at all times. I loved sleeping over there with her and Paul. Clair made everyone feel like it was home. I know I did. She kept a cabinet for Paul and I that, she made sure was always stocked with Doritos, that just came out on the market, Paul and I had never heard of them but Clair, found my new favorite food! Also, she made sure my cabinet was filled with 32 oz Coke A Cola bottles, all the things that even my own parents didn't know I liked...Devil Dogs, Funny Bones, etc. I love her so much! I and my Daughter Lauren were so lucky to have known her. She will be forever missed. Our hearts have a hole in them that will always be there, Clair took it with her when she passed away. What a wonderful and amazing Woman Clair is. So many great memories of Clair, I can't think of one bad one. Clair was always the Mom I wanted and that's because, she was such a loving soul. My you Rest In Peace my Dearest Clair. You will always be loved and terribly missed.
