Dear Dick, Susan, Bobby & Family,
   Greg and I feel priviledged to have met Claire during our stays in BHW.  We will always remember her smile, sense of humor and hospitality.  We all now have a guardian angel watching over us.  We send you our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Karen and Family,
Please receive our deepest sympathy in the passing of your mom.  Our thoughts are with you and your family during this trying time.

Aunt Claire was a very special part of my life.  Always had a positive thing to say no matter what was happening.  I will always treasure my memories in my heart.  I send my sympathy to all of you.

Claire's humor and hospitality always showed my boys what 'family' can be.  She welcomed every new twist with love and acceptance.  We will miss her at every gathering.

Grandma Brownie you will never leave our hearts. Thank you for all the special times we've shared. Melody, Christine and Jenny Walthers

We meet so few truly good people in our lives.  Claire Brown is one of the few, with love and joy in her heart for every life she touched.  We have all been blessed for knowing her, and our hearts will ache a little more at her passing.  It was an honor to have been part of her life.
My deepest love and sympathy to all the Brown's.  The streets of heaven have another angel.

"Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy."
Claire will be greatly missed by all who were lucky enough to know her.
Condolences and love to Brown Family
