Al,
I literally just received a call from my Mom today telling me about Claire. I am so very sorry to hear this news. I've known you two for almost 30 years and will never forget the days when I came home on leave from the Marines and came to get a pizza how wonderful the both of you were to me. That formed a wonderful friendship that I will always hold close to my heart. My entire family sends their love and prayers to you. We all loved Claire very much.
