To Greg, Mark and families. So sad to hear the news of Claire’s passing. She was such a lovely and lively lady. She always made me feel welcome when we called in with mum on our pilgrimage up North. May she Rest In Peace. My thoughts are with you during this sad time. Kind regards Claire Beck (McGregor-Dawson)
