Good fortune led me to meet Claire in 2006 when I moved to the subdivision where she lived with her wonderful dog “Penny.” Both of us being dog people we quickly hit it off. In the last years of her life in Helena I invited her to join a womens’ group which met for lunch once a month. Claire fit right in and all of us have missed her since she moved to Florida.
Claire was a great lady, friend and neighbor who will be deeply missed. Rest in peace, Big Sis.
