When Claire was murdered senselessly and brutally almost two years ago, it rocked my world. Having known her as a most exceptional child and teenager from our years at the beach, Gina, John and I were stunned. Her killer was sentenced yesterday. After hearing testimony from her family about what an amazing woman she was (and she was, it was all heartbreakingly true), the judge sentenced her murderer to 31 to 62 years and, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer, he seemed wholly unrepentant. I cannot imagine how her family felt. We've known Monica, Claire's aunt, forever, and this just about broke the hearts of this amazing family.
