A note written by Claudia’s sister, Gay:

“My little sister, Claudia, was a beautiful toddler with fly-away hair that looked like a halo. She loved to beat pans while mom cooked and took great joy in finger-painting the walls.

Claudia loved to dance and as a young teen, performed in the Nutcracker Suite.

In high school, Claudia, volunteered as a candy striper at Children’s Hospital and had the honor to be chosen as Volunteer of the Year.

As an adult, she made many life-long friends through work and socially.

She was a very kind and generous person who thought of others before herself.

As a life-time cat lover, she owned many cats and would feed the outdoor cats, never letting them miss a meal.”
