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

To my beautiful friend Claire. Brave, kind and determined till the end and still trying to make other people feel better, with her positive outlook. Thankyou for 45 years of friendship. We’ve been together through thick and thin, through good times and bad, and along the way, always having belly laughs whenever we saw each other. I will always treasure the memories we shared. Love you always and miss you so much Lummy ❤️. Your mate Fordy xxxxxx

My beautiful Hodgie pot, my best friend , the purest of purest ❤️ I miss you so much

Claire, we were privileged to be in your life from you being a cute mischievous adorable little girl, to seeing you grow into a beautiful, caring extremely courageous woman. We love you and you will always live in our hearts. Rest in the arms of your Mam now, at peace 💔💔
