I knew Claire when she lived in Naugatuck.  I am lucky enough to have one of her beautiful quilts that she made.  I have many great memories of Claire.  She was so supportive and a wonderful friend.  I can go on forever with stories, but my heart is broken.  I know Claire loved her son, daughter in-law and grand children.  Claire was a strong, loving person.  My prayers to her and her family.  I will miss my friend.
