Always loved, forever bright
Shining on in Heaven's Light.
We only had a brief glimpse of who Claire was during her lifetime. But she changed our lives forever. She gave us the chance to have, and not just dream of having, a dear sweet daughter. She made us truly grateful in understanding how each day and each moment we share with the ones we love is precious. And how each of our children is such a priceless gift. She was a treasure, and she turned our hearts toward heaven just as Jesus says in the book of Matthew Chapter 6 "for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." We won't ever fully know all the ways she touched all the people who knew her and the purpose of her brief life until we see her again. But I believe we will be surprised and amazed at how far-reaching her light spread. Claire embodied the truth that this life on Earth is just a brief prelude to eternal life in heaven. And every day we live brings us closer to that life and to seeing her again.
