It was an absolute pleasure working with Claire, always so positive, full of laughter and dark humour. I'm so grateful for the many many years of service she gave within the Early Years sector. Caring and supporting hundreds of Little Bears over the years, helping them learn and develop into super young people we can be proud of. What a legacy she leaves. The service at St Leonards was so beautiful and my deepest sympathies go to Charles, the boys and the rest of her family and close friends. So wonderful to hear all the stories, what a wonderful send off you gave her. Thank you for allowing me the privilege to pay my respects to an amazing, strong and inspiring lady.
