Claire

Bewildering frustration
Adoration
Admiration,
For a life-long friend
Gone:
Leaving 
Desolation.

You left in a hurry,
So much left undone
But you could not run.

Darkness left its claw,
On you a sister, daughter and friend we all adore,
A beautiful person, outside and in
Our Heroine:

No tenebrous arm
Will do you harm
Forever we appreciate
Your wit and humour resonate,
Your honesty and kindness magnified
Glamour and Style - so dignified.

Vibrant and 
Raw
Your warmth will last for evermore.

A unique star,
A ray of inspiration,
Guiding us through our devastation.

Your patience and humility will never cease
Dear Claire please Rest in Peace.
