Claire’s Story

Site created on June 17, 2017

My life has taken a surreal turn.  I have been diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.  The good news is it's curable, but the treatment is very aggressive.  I have started a rotation of one week in the hospital followed by two weeks home to continue for a projected six months.  I appreciate all the support from friends, colleagues, and family and want everyone to know I'm in good spirits.  I am looking at cancer as an unexpected tutor, teaching me deep, powerful lessons.

Hi Claire's friends! There will be limited seating at her memorial service due to social distancing arrangements. If you are planning to attend it would help us if you could use this form to pre-register so we could get a sense of how many people will be attending. The contact information would also be used for contract tracing should that prove necessary. Please pass this on to others you think may be attending the service. Thank you!
