I felt great sadness on hearing of Claire's passing, George. Although we had never met, I felt I knew her through her blogs and from your mother speaking of her with great fondness over the years. What an amazing, selfless person she was. She left you many wonderful memories to hold within your hearts. My condolences to you and your family.

I'm sorry for your loss, George and family. Claire was an inspirational and generous mentor to me while I studied in Western's counselling psych program from 2011-2013. I am grateful to have known her. Please take good care. Jeremy Doucette

I have been holding you, George, and your beautiful children and all who loved Claire in my hearts. She was truly one-of-a-kind and I am so incredibly grateful to have had her in my life for the past several years. Claire shared countless stories of the joy that you all brought to her life. She knew how blessed she was. We all wish we had more innings with her, but will carry her spirit on in our lives. She changed the world for so many.

So very sorry to hear of Claire’s passing. I grew up with Claire while she lived in Lethbridge. My fondest memory was a trip to England, where we went out to the local pub for a lager with the younger adults from our billet family. Fun times!

She has been an inspiration and her strength through her battle with cancer has been remarkable. Her memory will live on in our hearts. Condolences to you and your family. 💔🙏

I am so sorry for the entire family's loss. I only met Claire once while cat skiing at Keefer Lake Lodge but her infectious humor and love for life was evident from the minute she started singing and dancing in the snow cat. Four days of Claire was enough to prove she was a force to be reckoned with! From Brooklyn NY across the border to her family up there, somewhere in icy Canada, my wife Ellie and I send our love and thoughts.

I'm so so saddened about this news. A lot of wonderful people come through our office but there was something so special and likeable about Claire and of course your kids. It made me wish it wasn't weird to end the visit with "wanna hang out?" My heart goes out to you and your wonderful kids...the world needs more people like Claire.
