Bill I am so happy I got to meet you and Claire in person when you were in Florida. Claire is a very special soul as I am sure you already know. We know this is not “goodbye”, it’s just a “see you later” moment. Prayers for your comfort and strength during this time.

Our thoughts are with Bill and the family. We had some great trips with Bill and Claire…cruises and trips in the motor home. One ‘almost’ eventful trip in the motorhome to Denver when we ran into a storm that was blowing trucks off the highway. We will always have our memories.
Bill, So nice to have met you & Claire, when Rita & I met up with you here in Florida. So sorry for your loss Claire was very special My prayers & condolences go out to you and the family. May she rest in peace .
My condolences to Bill and and the rest of Claire’s family. The long battle fought together brings true meaning to the phrase “Semper Fi”.
Bill,
I’m sorry for your loss (hollow and perhaps overused words; but know that I really Am sorry). I plan to make a donation in Claire’s name to the Second Chance organization — I believe in what they do.
I think I only met Claire one or two times but I could tell that she was a very good “Marine wife.”

my thoughts & prayers go out to Jen & Bill & the rest of the family.
I am so sad for all your family, But when God Brings them Home all is well. Take care Bill, Jennifer, and Jim.
I feel blessed to have called Claire my friend through these many years although we lived so far away. My deepest sympathy to you all. I cannot believe that she is gone. The world is missing an angel but heaven has gained one.

My heart goes out to the family. Claire was a very beautiful and caring person. She will be missed by many of us.
Bill & Jenn
So sorry for your loss. We are remembering our 4th of July Barbeque parties in our back yard with Bill & Claire and volleyball.
Our most sincere condolence.
Thinking of you, Auntie Claire. You are one of the things that made my childhood so memorable. Much love.
Our condolences on this mutual loss.
She was like a mother to me. I will miss her advice and words of wisdom.
Shocking news… My condolences to the family.
If you love someone, then tell them because
Hearts are often broken by words left unspoken
My heart still aches in sadness and secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you, no one will ever know.
God saw you were getting tired, and a cure was not meant to be
So he put his arms around you, and whispered come with me
With tearful eyes we watched you, as we saw you pass away
Although we love you deeply, we could not make you stay
Your golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest
God broke our hearts to prove to us… He only takes the best
God Bless You Claire Rajewski xxxxxx
