Beautiful pictures. We have loved hearing about the amazing Callahan family and about all of your experiences, Bekah. From your earliest days, to high school to your college and law school, and what a bright, accomplished, and good person you have grown into. She shared so much of it with us. I keep bumping into thoughts of Claire as I go through my life. I'm going to really miss her, and we will never forget knowing her and loving her. xox

Dear Bekah - I am one of the Vintage Moms who interacted with your beautiful mother for the past 20+ years. A complete stranger to you, I am one of the Moms who knows how deeply and completely she loved you. I hope it gives you some comfort to know that her love for you has spread out to all her friends and admirers, in that she loved to share her pride in you, her hopes and dreams for your life. May her memory be a blessing. - Sylvia R.

Claire was the best! She had unmistakable wit, unbelievable kindness, and tenacity that kept her going as long as she did. Though she was in pain much of the time, anyone could see how much this was offset by her love for her family and friends. I will forever treasure her hugs, her long "here's the deal" emails, and our spirited conversations about politics, technology, and the mundane. I know she is in every tree, cloud, viola, computer, scrabble tile, and piece of jewelry watching all of us and smiling, no longer in pain.

I smiled when I read play a game of scrabble... your Mom and I have played Words With Friends for some time. When I heard of her passing, I forfeited our last game. I will continue to think of her when I play word games.
Thank you for sharing more about your beloved Mom.

Thank you for sharing this dear Bekah. There are a lot of us from Fortility and Vintage Moms who thought of your Mom as an old friend, even though we’d never physically met. For so many years she shared her hurts and challenges with us, but especially her love for you. You kept her going through all the pain and she was just so proud of what a beautiful young woman you’ve become. And she meant beautiful in all senses. Holding you in the Light as you navigate this new landscape without your Mom at your side, but she will always be with you, her music in your ears and her loving voice in your heart. ❤️💔❤️
