Ms. Claudia you will be missed.
I thank God for allowing you to provide me with words of encouragement while I was your daughter's co-worker. There were many days when you were able to show us the light at the end of that tunnel...
You were also willing to lend a helping hand even to those you didn't know. And you had a smile that light up any room.
God called his beautiful child home because her work on earth had been done. And I will say that the work that she has done definitely speaks for her....
