Susan Culliton
Dear Murray Family,
Please accept my sincerest sympathy on the passing of your beautiful daughter and sister Clare. I am a former teacher of Jeanne Sauve School and although I did not have the opportunity to teach Clare I do remember she was a wonderful, intelligent student with a bright smile. Our paths crossed again two years ago when she came to my home to tutor my daughter, Jillian after she experienced a brain injury. Her support helped her through a very difficult time by helping her with school. Clare always had a way of cheering Jillian up by taking her for lunch, pedicures and just being a good listener. Her kindness will never be forgotten!

Martha Cook
Please accept my most sincere condolences on your loss. I met Clare when she was making the rounds of the Stratford law firms, letter prefect resumes in hand. I was immediately struck by her warmth and presence (and wonderful height!). I was honoured to have a mentoring relationship with her as she navigated the start of her career. She was brave and courageous and sadly lost to an entire community that was better for having her with us. I am so deeply sorry for your loss, and wish her peace and Godspeed.
Kathleen (Ryan) vonEuw
Dear Connie and family.
Know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. Clare visited our salon often, and had such a gentle and kind spirit. May your fond memories of Clare bring you comfort in the days and weeks ahead. Take strength from each other, and know God will hold you all in the palm of his hands.
Patrick and Joanne Flanagan
Dear Connie and family, We are so deeply sorry to hear about Clare. Pat is reflecting on what a loving, happy family she was so lucky to be part of; remembering many a day when Arthur took the time to play soccer with all the kids before going back to the hay. Cherished memories for you all to focus on at this time. We were so thrilled to have Clare take time to tutor our daughter Morgan and she was so helpful but more importantly became a mentor to Morgan encouraging her and making her feel competent!! She was just an amazing presence and that we will always remember. Our prayers are with you and all of your family. Sincerely, Pat, Joanne, Brittany, Cassidy, Morgan
Gayle, Jurgen VanAltena and family

Dear Murray Family, I was so chocked to hear about Clare&&single&&s sudden passing. I remember her as a wonderful and quiet student in my French Immersion class. She showed kindness even in her early years and surely accomplished great things. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family in this difficult time.
Roger Bill
Dear Murray family,
I was shocked and saddened to learn of Clare&&single&&s passing. Although I only met some of you briefly, I felt like I knew you all for how much Clare spoke of you. I&&single&&m sure you all know how near and dear you were in her heart. My heart goes out to all of you.
Clare lived life with an excitement that was contagious and beautiful to witness. It extended from her aspirations in life all the way to mundane things like getting coffee. Her ready smile and infectious laugh still seem so fresh in my memory.
In this most trying time I hope you can find strength in each other, in fond memories and in your faith.
Joanne Dente
I was deeply saddened to hear of Clare&&single&&s sudden and untimely passing. She was a wonderful young woman, in pursuit of many goals. I will remember her for her sweet laughter and kind heart.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. The life you shared with Clare will always be part of you, and all that she gave to this world will live on. May the thoughts and prayers of all of us who care bring you peace as you grieve.
Payam Akhavan, Professor at McGill University Faculty of Law
Clare was my student at the McGill law faculty and she kept in contact over the years as she pursued her career. She was a thoughtful and sensitive person with great promise. She wrote to me earlier this year for a letter of reference for a human rights position in Jerusalem. I am deeply saddened to hear about her sudden passing and express heartfelt sympathies to her family and loved ones. I know that she touched the lives of her classmates and teachers and we all pray for her precious soul.
Daniel Jutras, Dean of Law, McGill University
It is with great sadness that the Faculty of Law learned of the untimely passing of Clare. My colleagues and I remember her as a smart and luminous woman, full of kindness and a desire to use her legal skills to support non-adversarial dispute resolution. Please accept my condolences and those of all professors and staff members at McGill University&&single&&s Faculty of Law.
Brian and Janet Keys and family
Keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

My heart goes out in the loss of Claire, a daughter, sister and large extended family. No words can take the pain or loss away, but to know that each and everyone of you are thought of during this sad time in your lives.
So sorry
Natai Shelsen
Dear Murray family,
Please accept my deepest sympathies for your loss. I am praying that God will carry you and give you strength during this difficult time. I remember Clare speaking about her family all the time – she loved you so much, and she knew how much you all loved her.
Clare was such a special person and I am honoured to have known her – she was warm, kind, generous, fun-loving and free-spirited. She was the kind of person who would give you the shirt off her back without hesitation. We used to stay up till all hours of the night talking about everything imaginable – that was part of her charm. We had so much fun together during law school, and she is a part of so many of my best memories. I will never forget her contagious enthusiasm, her wide smile and the sound of her laugh.
My prayers are with you.
Natai
Jonathan Nuss
