Thinking of you all. I know it has been a tough battle for Claire. She was an amazing support to Trish. And now the two battlers are at rest.

Dear Mike, Carly and Mckenzie, we are so sad not to be there in person to tell you how sorry we are that you are having to go through this. I was greatly privileged to call Claire my friend for most of my life. She was an amazing friend, with quick wit and always a smile on her face. She will be greatly missed, but never forgotten. Please no our door is always open as I have a keepsake box full of letters from Claire from when she was a teenager. I am sure when you are ready it would be fun for you to read about some of her exploits. Love to you all. Sacha, Phil and Jas

I was lucky enough to work with Claire at the V and A in London, and she was truly funny, she could make me laugh and laugh. She was also kind and lovely; her family and friends have lost a wonderful woman.

Hey Guys,
I feel so sad that I am not in Invercargill today, but also so pleased I made the trip a few weeks back and had some real quality time with Claire. She was one of life's real gems that I was lucky enough to have known, and I will treasure those memories always.
Much love to everyone, especially you Mike and your precious girls x
