Bella Moss Foundation Past Patron Tribute To Claire Rayner

The Bella Moss Foundation is saddened to hear of the death of its first Honorary Patron, Claire Rayner Jill Moss, President of The Bella Moss Foundation, said “I owe a great debt to Claire. After the death of my companion dog Bella died from the effects of MRSA Claire was kind enough to let me visit with her. She helped me understand that there was a way of directing my grief into helping other pet owners in the same situation that I had faced and she understood how difficult I found it to think clearly about what to do. Her advice and guidance was invaluable, as was her understanding and support, and although she was ill even at that time, she agreed to lend her name to The Foundation as Honorary Patron on the understanding that her commitment would be extremely limited. It’s fair to say that without her generous and caring nature The Foundation would probably not exist.” Claire Rayner was Honorary Patron of The Bella Moss Foundation from 2005 until she stepped down in 2008. We know that although Claire was unable to be involved in the activities of The Foundation, she was always interested in hearing of its developments and was pleased that her name brought the benefits it did. The Bella Moss Foundation sends it deep condolences to Claire’s family, and shares with all of those who knew and worked with Claire the knowledge that she was a unique person, caring in her concern for people and passionate in her beliefs. Britain is poorer for her passing. Claire Rayner 2005 “MRSA is now crossing from people to pets and I am proud to be the Hon patron of Bella Moss Foundation, this is a charity run by a women who will take on the world and is determined to bring about changes, I know that Jill Moss will succeed with the Bella Moss Foundation and work towards excellence in infection control”
