Claire, We didn't realise we were making memories we just knew we were having fun. Live, Love and Laugh we have Claire. Our lives were better because you were in them. I am so lucky to have you as my friend and Matthew as his Auntie Claire. We will miss you forever Claire, you have shown us all strength, bravery and courage throughout your illness still smiling always. Its heart breaking to say goodbye to a special lady. Love you matey, Nic x

My mam, my best friend. the one I called about every little thing. The times I miss you most are times only you and I shared. The daily FaceTime calls where we would sit and talk for hours or the look and smile you would give me when dad would be telling you off for another parcel delivery. I miss you when I hear the gogglebox theme tune, I miss you when I hear any glee song play haha. Everyday I think about you. I will forever and always applaud and brag about your courage, your resilience and strength. how you stayed so positive throughout your battle. There wasn't a day that had went by when you weren't smiling or dancing. Thank you for being the light when the world was dark. I miss you today, tomorrow, always.

Claire, you are an inspiration to so many people, with your strength, grit and determination. Your legacy is all the lives you have touched and the imprint you have left. You showed such courage. I remember fondly, those days in Garth Crescent and Bamburgh Avenue - all the silly little plays we inflicted on our families. Happy times. Sending lots of love and strength to your family xxx
