I have many fond memories of the Phillipo family and the time we spent together. Claire was a very giving person; wonderful mother and mother-in law. Her family was the center of her life and she adored her grandchildren and and great grandchildren with all her heart. As a person, Claire was involved in her community and in her church as a volunteer. She was the first to lend a hand to those in need. Her strength and spirit will live on for generations to come in the hearts of her grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Rest in peace Claire.
