This morning, we learnt of the sad passing of Claire Kirk. As many of you know, Claire is a sister of Frances Connolly (KGT founder) & Ann Floyd (trustee). The Trust would like to extend its deepest sympathies to both the Graham & Kirk families for your loss.
Claire fought a long battle with her illness, never losing her zest for life or letting that amazing smile of her’s ever fade. To many, she is a shining example of making every day count & living life to the fullest.
Claire was also a generous benefactor to KGT & even to the end, requested that in lieu of flowers, donations should go to the trust. That wonderful generosity of spirit that emanates from the Graham family remained steadfast with her to the end.
Claire Kirk, we salute you & pray that you are at peace.
