Happy Birthday, Claire!

Dear Hearts,

July 2nd is the birthday of Claire Marie Frances Kimbel: daughter of Anne Sullivan Daly and Curt Kimbel; stepdaughter of Malachy Daly; sister of Willis; niece, cousin and friend to many, many more. Claire is one of the six girl Sully cousins born within a year or so of each other--each of a different sibling: Jim's Franny, Mary Fran's Maggie, John's Maggie, Mike's Katie, and Margaret's Lizzy. And this group is book ended by Kate Merwin ahead of them and Georgia Sullivan bringing up the rear.

After studying nursing and receiving her Bachelor of Science degree in Ireland, Claire returned to the U.S. several years ago. Today she has expanded her career, working as a paraeducator in Special Education at Nederland Middle-Senior High School, and as a manager of a residential recovery center in Colorado. She is continuing her education in a Masters program as well.

Happy Birthday, Claire, and may you have 89 more healthy ones, by the Aunt Joannie Sullivan Law of Longevity Aspiration of 2008.

God bless us and save us and keep us from harm.

Love, Patty
