Joan and I are so sorry for your loss.
We are in Florida and unable to attend the Celebration of Life today
We are so sad to hear of Claudia’s passing. Our sincerest sympathies to Barry and all of her family.
Dear Claudia,
My deepest sympathy goes out to your family. You are already missed by them.
When I think of you, it is having a last lunch together at Cyndie’s…. but I have many childhood memories of playing together when we visited on Sundays on Gage Street. Sleep the deep sleep and know that we all will catch up with you some day.
Love and peace to all your family members.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Entire Family of Claudia at this time. We are sorry for your loss. God Bless…
Our heartfelt condolences to you all.
Very sorry to learn you have lost your mom Josh. We are thinking of you at this sad time.
I am particularly sad to hear of Claudia’s passing. We attended every grade together from kindergarten to high school. Throughout all those years, I had a crush on her and I don’t think she knew I existed. Have you watched Wonder Years? Winnie is a clone of Claudia with her perfect posture, beautiful hair, regal facial features and soft, compassionate voice. In public school, I would gingle metal washers in my pockets in hopes of convincing Claudia that they were coins. I have memories of Claudia’s father and brother to whom I offer my deepest condolences.
Nothing in life prepares you for the loss of your mom. Know that our thoughts and prayers are with you at this most difficult time.
So sorry to hear about Claudia. Alway enjoyed our coversations over a drink. Such a strong girl.
I was so sorry to hear of Claudia’s illness and her passing… sending love, light and healing to all concerned…
