Thanks Kellye, I have read and observed what others have thought about Claire and been overwhelmed by the impact she had on people. She was a beloved family member who is sorely missed and although some of the memories have been painful, they have all been meaningful. You have described her way of life and spirit beautifully. What you wrote made me feel as if, just for a moment, she was still here. Christie D.

Such a nicely written post! Wow! I wish I knew Claire. You’re right we all need to give thanks for our champions – even those that irk us sometimes. They are the ones that most often motivate us to greatness.

Thanks Michelle, Beth and Jen — nice of you to point out that we should also take the time out to make ourselves advocates for others. Generosity of spirit is the one characteristic that all champions have in common!

Kellye, I did not know Claire but tears welled up in my eyes as I read your post. I am so thankful for those who are and have been champions in my life and only hope that I can be that to others. I can think of no greater legacy to leave than loving and supporting those who cross your path. This is a wonderful tribute and reminder. You are truly wonderful Kellye; Claire would be proud.
