Claire was a sweet heart. I remember her fondly 🥰
Claire was not only a highly respected teacher but also a great friend and animal lover. We and our feline family always enjoyed her visits. Our cats especially enjoyed her visits because she came with cat toys and treats. She volunteered at Lowell Humane Society, where she gave cats much needed attention and love .After we lost one of our cats, she recommended another one from Lowell Humane Society who she felt would be perfect for us, and he is. Claire will be missed.
