Poppet75 (Claire)
Hello ladies
I have just received the devastating news that my lovely friend claire passed away earlier this morning. She was really struggling with her breathing due to progression to the lungs, which was diagnosed just last month. Claire texted me just Tuesday night to let me know she had been rushed back into hospital with a suspected chest infection.Her mum told me she had developed pneumonia.
Claire was a regular poster on the bcc forums (poppet75) particularly the triple neg secondaries thread, since her recurrence late 2010.
Claire was a beautiful, 36yr old with everything to live for + I will really miss her.
I am thinking of all her family + friends + hoping claire is now at peace.
RIP Claire I will So miss you mate xxx
love Tina xx

Terribly sad news. I didn't have the pleasure of knowing Claire outside of the forums, just the virtual Poppet75 and followed her regular posting. She is at rest now - but taken too early in life. My thoughts and prayers are with her friends and family. X
So sorry to read this, my thoughts are with her family and everyone who knew her.

What shocking news, thank you for letting us know Tina, I only just e-mailed Claire last night, this sudden deterioration is so scary and wrong!
I have met Claire and found her to be a very sincere and open person, who became a good support to me with her heartfelt and sincere messages. She really will be missed.
I send my sincere condolences to her family and friends and everybody who knew her.
RIP Claire xx I still can't believe it! - when we met you were so vibrant and full of life, I am so sorry that you had your future taken away by this vile disease!
Agree that this is shocking news. All my sympathy goes to Claire's family and all her friends, especially Tina. I didn't know Claire well although we had pm'd on this site in the past, but she seemed such a lovely caring person. Life is just not fair.

I was fortunate enough to meet Claire last December at a meet up in Oldham; she was beautiful, had a gorgeous head of hair and she was a lovely person.
I am so sad at hearing this news and my thoughts are with Claire and her family.
