A message from home
Our favorite memory of you is…
“Claire has always had the best one liners and seen the world in a very innocent way. In pre-school she once played dot-to-dot on her polka dot shirt because why wouldn’t you connect the dots to make a picture on your shirt:) She always brings laughter and fun to a situation.”
What I want the world to know about you is…
“Claire’s energy is contagious. She has always been able to draw people in with her vibrant personality. This is so genuine that she doesn’t even know she has this gift, it is just who she is. People want to be around her because she brings the fun and once you are in her circle she is loyal, trustworthy and a friend for life. She truly has a heart of gold!”
Our hope for you is…
“Our hope for Claire is that she continues to have the courage to be her most authentic self and let her light shine bright for others. Her ability to see people without judgment and to live in the moment while still working hard to achieve her goals, will serve her well and we know will bring her much success moving forward.”
