In loving memory

I have just returned from the wake following the funeral of Claire Stuchbury, former Mayoress of Buckingham. Beautiful words were spoken by Jack & Sean, her two sons, and Robin her husband of 32 years. Their eulogies were heartfelt, poignant and endearing. They talked about a woman who never spoke ill of anyone, had a rock solid moral compass and made sure she savoured every moment of her (too short) life. And all three made us laugh as well, as Claire would certainly have wanted. The parish church was packed with people from across the world who came to support the family, and honour and celebrate Claire's life. Our town has lost one of our own and one of our most wonderful citizens. Rest in peace, Claire.

  1. It was a heartbreaking but beautiful day & Claire would have been so proud but humbled at the love that was expressed for her. Claire was my friend for 40 years, she will be greatly missed.
