In loving memory of Claire Parkin

Hi my name is Jess , I have known Claire for 21 years and had the pleasure of being her neighbour for the last 7 years . Claire passed away the evening of the 20th February unexpectedly leaving behind her husband Jim & Daughter Courteney which has left a big whole in our hearts & those closest to her and the community of aycliffe in which she has helped many people over the years and was always willing to chat and help anyone who she crosses paths with , Claire had a great sense of humour and could always make you laugh. I am asking for help towards funeral costs , loss of earnings for Courtney while she processes her loss and help in this hardship for Jim as he is now retired a time he should be enjoying not grieving the loss of his wife. All money raised will go directly to Jim and Courtney to help with the financial strain following their loss.
