My Big Sister Claire Ann

Claire Ann will always live in my heart and mind. I close my eyes and see that wonderful smile and those bright, twinkling, blue eyes. That's how I will always remember her. She lived life the way we dream to, with such enthusiasm, confidence, and passion. Her laugh (though I must admit embarrassed us on occassion!) was truly infectious. She made the most of every minute of her life and set a wonderful example for all of us. She went after every aspect of life with equal vigor - her faith, family, profession, and the myriad of activities she loved. Claire Ann left an impression on each of us like no other, and I cherish the wonderful memories I have with my wonderful big sister. Rest in peace, CA.
