Claire Verney lives in her log home in Chelsea, Quebec. It is the house where she and Michael Torontow moved in 1989, just five years before his diagnosis and where he died peacefully in 2013. It is the house where their four children were raised and homeschooled. She now shares it with Rick Hughes whom she married in 2014. It is a house with much history, sorrow and joy. Claire now hikes, swims and snowshoes - sometimes with her two old and slightly demented dogs - enjoying a peaceful retirement and a loving family and community.
