CLAIRE MICHAEL RIP
It is with sadness that I have to inform you of the sudden death on
Friday 31st of July of Claire Michael, who was a member of Project 2030 from
London. Claire had been a member of the 20s group for a number of
years, and last year she moved on up to the 30s group.
Over the years Claire has not had very good health. Last year she
suffered from DVT (deep vein thrombosis). This had come back last week
and she was on antibiotics. On Friday morning she didn't feel too well.
She decided to go to the doctor's before going to work. Her mum gave
her a lift, but she collapsed and died before she reached the surgery.
I had got to know Claire well over the years, and particularly last
year with the 20s at Krakow in Poland I had the opportunity for some
long chats with her, and I was very impressed with her good sense and
the depth of her spirituality.
Jenny Whelan writes: "I was very saddened to hear about the loss of a
wonderful member of Project 2030. Claire was one of those members of
the group that put her heart and soul into all that she did. She loved
being around the group and had adapted the nickname “Classic Claire”
due to her original and very poignant comments, given to other group
members when out and about. She has been on many of the larger trips
including Santiago last year.
Claire was a very spiritual person and we all gained from her wisdom
and insight, on sometimes the most obvious observations that we will
had all missed. Our thoughts and prayers will be with her family at
this difficult time. May she rest in Peace".
Colette Whitehead has emailed the following: "I think I was the last
person from the group she talked to. Although there was a tube stike on
her birthday, I arranged to meet her at the Westminster Catherdral
Newspaper reception desk, where I had bought a Theatre Play ticket for
her. She was delighted to see the play at Westminster Cathedral Hall -
she had never been there before. Then we took the train home and I
suggested she call her parents to let them know she is on the train (as
she had epilepsy). She then told me she was glad she took up that idea
as her parents had a surprise birthday treat for her".
If you want to send condolences you can write to Claire's mum and dad,
Anita and Alan Michael, at 45 The Rise, Sevenoaks, Kent, TN13 1RJ.
A Requiem Mass will be held for Claire at 11.30 am on Wednesday 12
August 2009 in The Lady Chapel, Westminster Cathedral. There will be
tea and sandwiches in the Hinsley Room next to the Cathedral after the
mass and until 3.30pm.
Her parents write: "Immediate family will not be there until 2.15 pm.
There will be a private cremation. We have asked for family flowers
only. The 2030 group was a very important part of Claire's life. We are
naturally very keen that her friends in the 2030 group know of her
death and of the above arrangements, so that those who are able, can
come."
I'd just like to say I won't be able to attend the funeral as I'm away
now on holiday in Portugal and won't be back in the office until 25
August. I'd also like to thank Liam for geting in touch and keeping me
up to date after Claire's death. Claire's mum very much appreciated all
that Liam and others in the group had done for Claire in recent times.
She had seen a real difference in her over the years because of her
involvement with Project 2030. We'll see if it's possible to arrange a
Mass for Claire to coincide with the London Party weekend, 12-13
September.
