Taunte Claire was always one of my favorite people, a gentle loving soul without a mean bone in her body. As an artist myself she was a great instpiration to me. As a child I remember her so fondly. As an adult I alwas thought of her with a smile. She was always always kind to me and I felt most welcome in her home. Maybe more than any other house I had ever been.That was the west pubnico in her core. I remember she told me when I was 14, 'come back soon , I know soon you will have a girlfreind and I'll never see you again.' She was a smart woman too. I wished I had told her this when I had the time. So I'm telling you now that I'm sorry life has rushed past and I haven't made the time to see you.
Paul and philip , please forgive me, I cannot make the funeral today. I promise to visit you both and keep in touch better. I will take a moment at 11 this morning to greive with you. I know both of you feel blessed to have had her in your lives for 94 years and you will find comfort tomorrow knowing she had a wonderful life and she did her best to give you two a fabulous life. You two have made her proud. She's probably told you a thousand times. I will miss her, but the memories of her are intact in my heart and will die only when I meet my end. till then she will be remembered most happily. Her photos and paintings will always bring me pleasure. Best to you both on this dificult day. Rest tomorrow and find the best in who she was on this earth. If only the world was filled with Taunte Claires....what a wonderful world it would.
