My beautiful girl, Mary Claire, left this world on Thursday, February 15, 2018 and has gone on to a place where I know as she believed there is eternal peace and love. She loved her family and friends and would move heaven and earth to defend them. This was a preventable tragedy and I sincerely hope through the gift of organ donation that her precious spirit and love of life will continue on. She loved the beach, sunshine, and sunflowers. Mary Claire was an awesome volleyball player and loved any competition. Heaven received a beautiful angel and I ask God to give those who loved her the strength to carry on and to bear witness to her story. We love you, Mary Claire, to the moon and back___
