My deepest sympathy to the family. Very soon God will eliminate death forever 1 Corinthians 15:26.

Aunt Claire was lively and fun. She set a courageous example for my generation when she determined she was embarking on a new career as a tourist guide, and then she actually did it. I was amazed to see my Aunt Claire darting around the world with her travels. I especially cherished her visits in Washington, DC, and Moscow. She arrived at times when I was a bit lonely for home, and her adventuresome spirit inspired me to push on with my own endeavors. I love you, Aunt Claire. Thank you for all your support and love! - Randy
