To the Family Members of Claire,
Claire was a customer of mine when I had my shop on Hilltop Road in Mendham. After knowing Claire for a short period of time, we became friends. She loved the paintings and other decorations I offered.
I remeber going to her compound of homes for her and her family members. I remember her as a lovely woman of grace and charm. She was always positive, gesturing with a smile.
I was travelling home today, and saw her home knocked down. I knew immediately to check the listings. I saw she passed away in 2014. I was also aware she was battling cancer. She told me of her trips for treatment in NYC.
I am very sorry for your loss, to all of you. You were lucky and blessed to have her. She was always a source of strength, love and courage.
My deepest sympathies to all of you.
Diane Smith
