I had the privilege of knowing Claire as my Aunt and Godmother. She was a wonderful woman...full of life and generous to a fault. She was loving, kind, and funny and was one of the least judgmental people I have ever known. I will always remember her laugh and sense of humor...from the gag gifts she would give my father to her attempts to bake pancakes! For Claire, time was never a limitation. She could talk for hours! Her energy and zest for life was abundant. The last time I saw her was at George & Deanna's wedding. She was especially beautiful, radiant and happy. That memory is how I will always remember her... Just as she was never limited by time, her spirit is not limited by death. She lives on in our hearts and is busy doing the work of angels in Heaven. She inspired me more than she will ever know. I love you Claire. "Those we love don't go away.They walk beside us every day.Unseen, unheard, but always near.Still loved, still missed and very dear."

You can shed tears that she is gone, or you can smile because she has lived. You can close your eyes and pray that she'll come back, or you can open your eyes and see all she's left. Your heart can be empty because you can't see her, or you can be full of the love you shared. You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday, or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. You can remember her only that she is gone, or you can cherish her memory and let it live on. You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back. Or you can do what she'd want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on. -David Harkins. My prayers and love with always be with the Young and Krup families! Love always, Dana and all my boys!

Sorry I could not write about Claire in 1000 words or less. When I think of Claire I think of balloons and happy times. The day after Claire passed away I got my first sign from her and knew she was watching over me. She always watched over everyone here on Earth so why would it be any different from above? I also know she is rejoicing with her mom and dad. But I can't believe she is gone and I am feeling a bit selfish at the moment because I still want her here. I found this poem which reminded me of her and hopefully in time I can follow it's advice.

Aunt Claire, You are the best Aunt a girl could ask for. I will never forget what you have done for and with my family. I thank you for my two cousins. You have raised them into fine boys/"Young" men, no pun intended. I also thank you for taking care of and being a wonderful wife to my Uncle George. I know they will all miss you dearly. You will be in my heart and memories for my lifetime. I Love You. As I looked around at your services, I realized how many lives you have touched. You are truly an angel and if anyone deserves to be in heaven, it is you! I will always cherish my trip to Seaside Heights with you, Great Adventure, the movie E.T. in the front row of a packed theatre, and the story of me laying in the hallway of my house while you were watching me, peeking out and watching "Carrie" which gave me nightmares! This is one of my favorite stories of my childhood and you told it best! Your great sense of humor will make us laugh forever!

Dearest Claire, It was an honor and privilege to have shared your life. You not only were a loving wife for my brother and a great mom to your boys, but you were like a sister to me and Terry. I will always recall your van trips to visit us in Va & NC with your parents & kids. We had such a great time! I loved how you always had a sarcastic quip for Terry. Much heartfelt appreciation is felt for your being there for my parents. I could always count on you to do the right thing. You are a true servant of God, gone from us much too soon. I will miss you dearly and will cherish your memory. Much love and prayers always, Barbara

It all started when George and I became friends. Then out of the kindness of your heart and never being able to say no, you took in my brother. From that point on, you and my mother became great friends. Always helping us out whenever we needed. Your family became our family and vice versa. You helped everyone, no matter what. There are so many funny stories to be shared about you, but I think one of my favorites is when the TSA stopped you in Chicago and you got on the plane using your Sam's Club membership card. I will always look up to you with awe and admiration. We will always love you and cherish you within our hearts. 1,000 characters is not enough to express how we all feel, and to show how you will be missed. I love you Claire and hope you know that we are at a loss without you.

I will always associate Claire Young with two things: hard work and good times. Over the past twenty plus years, I have had the privilege of knowing a true example of selflessness. No matter what the situation or occasion, the Claire, George, and the boys welcomed me as one of the family. From family vacations and trips down the Jersey Shore, to Mother's Day dinners and moving George to college, I was welcome to tag along. No matter what time of day or night, we would have long conversations we would have about life, all the while she would be working on some late-night crafting project or shower gift. You left us too soon: you were an inspiration and someone who will always be family to me. Love you, mamadukes.

Mudder- I couldn’t have gotten luckier than to have you as a mother-in-law. You were kind, giving, thoughtful and funny. We loved spending time with you in Hoboken, usually starting with some type of craft activity but always ending in a fun meal out. I’ll never forget the last time we went to the movies. George mentioned he wanted ice cream. You excused yourself and next thing we knew, you came back with a backpack filled with 3 cups of TCBY. Only you! Haha. The relationship you had with George was amazing. You were his Mom but also his best friend. I loved listening to the jokes pass between you and him, neither of you ever missing a beat. You raised a great man and for that, I am forever grateful. He misses you terribly and so do I. And please don’t worry. I will always take care of your son. Love, Deanna

God took from us one of the most thoughtful, kindest and witiest persons we will ever know. It was much too soon. She obviously has touched many with her unconditional help to those who needed it the most. But I will remember her most for the Christmas presents usually sent in July. The fear of what offbeat "presents" I was going to find in the cardboard box that she had sent. This was part of Claire's wit. When we meet again, Claire, hope you are not standing next to a very large cardboard box. Claire Anne, love and miss ya.

My Beloved Sister, Words can not express the loss I feel with your passing. There is a emptiness in my heart. You were taken from us too young. I do take some solace in the kind words, and memories of all the people you touched in your life. You were the safety net in so many peoples life including mine. I will never forget the unconditional love you gave me and everyone you touched. Love, Your brother Ron

I never met a selfless person until I met Claire.She worked tirelessly for family, friends, and charity. I enjoyed having Claire over for holiday dinners, when food would be served not at appointed time but at "Claire time." This shy woman turned into a fierce competitor the first time she joined in our annual Easter Egg Contest- and won! My daughter is lucky to have had Claire as a mother in law. Ralph and I were lucky to have her in our lives even for too short a time. Claire leaves behind a part of herself in our hearts.

I can't think of a single time when I was talking with Claire that she didn't tell me all about the latest project she was creating. It was always, always something for someone else, never something for herself. She always focused on enriching the lives of other people, in any way she could. I visited her during her recovery (from her fall) in rehab, and when I walked in, I found her with her casts on both arms, in the center of a group of people who were laughing as she entertained them with funny stories! Wherever she went, joy followed, regardless of the circumstances. Hands always busy, heart always bursting with generosity and love, feet always dancing. These will be my memories of my wonderful friend. Our Camp R.O.B.I.N. events will never be the same without her smiling face. May the choirs of angels come to greet you, may they take you to Paradise. One day we will all have the grandest reunion! God bless you, Claire, and your entire family.

Aunt Claire Anne, So go and run free with the angels, dance around the golden clouds. For the lord has chosen you to be with him, and we should feel nothing but proud. Although he has taken you from us, and our pain a lifetime will last. Your memory will never escape us, but make us glad for the time we did have. Your face will always be hidden, deep inside our hearts. Each precious moment you gave us, shall never, ever depart. So go and run free with the angels, as they sing so tenderly. And please be sure to tell them, to take good care of you for me. Love you.

I never met anyone in the world as genuine, giving, talented, and fun-loving as Claire. The number of lives she has touched(including mine)is insurmountable and will continue to grow as her works in themselves continue to give long after this moment. And while she will be greatly missed, I know that she has left a piece of herself and that giving spirit in all who knew her. Love you, Claire xoxoxo

Dear Sweet Claire Ann, The overwhelming sadness, we feel, has left a hole in our hearts, that can only be filled with a lifetime of wonderful memories. Your energy and talents exhausted us, taking care of family, work, charities, decorations and party planning all through the night, Alan said you must be nocturnal. Claire Ann, you were more like a sister to me than a cousin and I will never forget the wonderful childhood we spent together. I will miss your voice, your smile, your laugh, your quick wit and all your wisdom, but most of all I will miss you. We pray your family can find peace in their memories and your love.

I am still in a state of shock and disbelief. The words of Ronnie, Mike and Lori are all so true but words are totally inadequate to describe how truly unique and marvelous a person Claire Anne was. A true descendant of the "McBride Four" (or as Melissa has called them, the Golden Girls), Claire Anne was loved and will be enormously missed by all she touched. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Young and Krup families. Rest in peace Claire Anne.

Generous to a fault. This is a family tradgedy. It was never a burden to her to give her love, her time, her talent for any event, person or cause. She put everything and everyone's need ahead of her own. A truly unique person! We have all been enriched by the enchanted settings she created for special gatherings. Claire's bears in heaven!!

Dear Cousin Claire, We will miss you dearly and miss all your stories about my Mom, your Mom, Aunt Joan and Aunt Rita. You were the family historian. You were always there to lend a helping hand. You always made the time to be a part of every family celebration and gave a hug when it was needed. Frank and I will miss your laugh and everything that made you who you were. Our prayers are with all the Young and Krup families. Rest in peace dear Claire Ann.
