Dear Shelley, Ken, Roslyn, Andrew, Rachel, Skot, Riley, Alisha, Aaron, Joshua, and Richard... your mother/ mother-in-law/ bubbi/ great bubbi was a very classy dame, her just smile lit up the room, and she was like a second mother to me growing up- i was at your house if I wasn't at my own house for dinner, games, everything! And she outlasted so many tribulations, and was the last Barrett-Levin standing when all was said and done. I hope your happy and warm memories bring you comfort and make you smile. She was loving, and she was beloved.

I have great memories of Auntie Claire but ones that stick out for me are from my childhood. For all of my early birthdays I remember always receiving a boxed gift with clothes she had bought for me. I may not have liked everything at the time ; ) but they imprinted her thoughtfulness and love. She will be missed.

Dear Shelley and Rozlyn, Your Mom was a very special woman and I loved her very much. She welcomed me into the family and always made me feel special. I loved listening to her stories about the past. And I loved her cabbage rolls - she always made extra for Murray and I. Your mom will be missed by all of us who loved her - missed but never forgotten.

Dear Roslyn, Shelley, Ken, Richard, and family of Dear Claire, Please accept our most sincere and heartfelt condolences on the loss of such a sweet and cherished matriarch. The end of an era! To know her was to love her. We know that she will be sadly missed but fondly remembered in the wonderful memories that you share. It would be comforting to believe that she is finally with her beloved life partner 'Burt' one again. Our hearts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.

Dear Shelley, Ken, Roslyn, Andrew, Rachel, Skot, Riley et al. I have many fond memories of Claire; her ability to sew her husband's suits (and many beautiful dresses for Alicia) is just one - I was amazed she could look at a magazine and create an exact copy - of Chanel no less!! Her keen sense of social mores and her charm, knowing just how to make a dinner or party extra special. I remember her as a woman who carried much joy in her heart and I know, through her kindness, she touched the lives of many. Thank you for your warm welcome - Joshua is so proud to have met his extended family at last. Respectfully, Patrice
