Thinking of beloved Clare.
We will always miss her physical presence with us on earth and be deeply grateful for her life.
God our creator is good and trustworthy in character, so although we may not get answers to all our questions about 'why' this side of eternity, we can trust that God is taking good care of Clare and of all our family members that have gone before us into the heavenly realm.
In John 11.25 Jesus says 'I am the resurrection and the life. Those who believe in me, even though they die, will live'.
That means for those who believe in God, that life continues for the soul but in a changed form, so their life is changed but not ended.
