A beautiful lady with a beautiful soul. Sending love to Colin, Hayley and Ben xxx

I feel so lucky that you were in my life. Not only as a great work colleague, but as a trusted and close friend. You always made me laugh and I miss you so very much. Our weekends and nights out were always so fun and I Just can’t believe you are no longer here. Sleep tight my friend ❤️

It is so hard to find the words for someone you wished was still here! Clare wasn’t just a work colleague, she was my friend, one of the closest. I miss her loads! She knew what I was talking about if the other girls didn’t. Even if she went on holiday I would miss her because she made the day at work soo much better with her funny banter! As rude as it might be. Going to attach some pics of my Clare bear! Of the fun we have had together! Love u loads Clare bear!

I will always fondly remember our chats at school pick-up as well as at the pub. Your help and support on the playschool committee was invaluable. Clare, you were a kind and caring person who lived for your family. Sending love to you all xxx

You were a wonderful lady and so wonderful with Jess George and Marcus as they grew. Thank you for so many special memories xxx

Such a lovely person - we will cherish the memories of all those football weekend, primary school events (and fun nights in the pub). With best wishes to Colin, Hayley and Ben from Laura, Neil, AJ and Ethan

Every day at work you made me smile and made me laugh. You were always there for me. I have so many amazing memories of our trips and adventures that I wish cherish. Always in my thoughts and my love to those loved ones at this time. Keep shining and smiling Clare. Your friend Michelle x

Heartbreaking for Colin, Hayley, Ben and Clare's family. A beautiful, happy, kind friend who will be so greatly missed. Such fun times growing up as teens, MGGS, our shared love of cats, trips to visit you at Guildford Uni and then our wonderful meet-ups in Scotland and Kent. I will so so miss you at our yearly meet ups with Jo, Wendy & Laura. You always lit up the room and were such good fun, a true friend for life. xxx

I will remember a beautiful soul who always had a smile on her face. Who radiated with love for her children, husband, in-laws, brother, nieces, Dad and Carolyn. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. She’ll be missed xx

Such a sad loss. Erica was in the same year as Hayley at Godinton and we would always chat when she came in the Co op as well. Sending love and hugs to all her family.

My darling friend. You are missed by so many. We had such fun, I never stopped laughing or smiling with you. Usually because you said something inappropriate but we always giggled. I miss you so much. I am so glad to have been part of your life and hold all those memories close to my heart. Your smile lit up a room and you were the most kindest person I have met. Love you, Natalie (little les) ❤ xxx

Rest in peace Clare,It was a pleasure to have known you and we are thinking of your family at this very sad time.with love Sue and Keith x

Dear Clare, we did not know you for long but every wave we had from you meant the world for the first day we moved in and done clap for carers on the door step. Your smile and welcoming way is something we will never forget.

Clare, you were most probably the happiest lady I have ever known, always smiling or laughing! I have such fond memories, gill.i.am xx

Got to know Clare while meeting my Grandchildren at Godintin primary school. Such a lovely young lady and so sad and tragic that she should be taken so young. My thoughts are with Colin, Hayley and Ben and all the family x

Such sad, heartbreaking news. Although we hadn't seen each other in years (apart from a surprise meeting and quick hug at an AHA concert I still felt lucky to have had you in my life and class you as a friend. We had some fun times in our teens including a school trip to Italy and a holiday to Germany to stay with your lovely Uncle. All my love and condolences to Colin, Hayley, Ben and your Dad and the rest of the family. You'll always be remembered. Bec x

Such a smiley funny person, Colin, Hayley and Ben hold on and treasure all those lovely memories. Very randomly I first met Clare when we were both in labour! Hayley and Mia both share a birthday! You will be greatly missed xxxx

I’m so sad to hear this. I got to know Clare at University where we both studied German. My very sincere condolences to her family. I will always remember the smile and her kind and calm demeanour. God bless you Clare x

My dear friend - I will always think of you with a smile on your face and the warmest of hugs. I can’t believe you are gone. You will never be forgotten. Wendy. Xxxxx
