    Being a best friend to her brother, I’ve known Claudia for close to 60 years. Her picture should be next to ‘sweetheart’ in the dictionary. She will truly be missed!

    Missing Claudia already, so glad we had our last visit with her in the rehab facility. Good Memories were shared over Imos pizza. Love to you Nicole, Scott, Danielle, and Zach, our condolences as well.

    It’s hard to believe Claudia is not with us now. She was such a comfort to me when Dave passed. She was always ready to talk when I called her late at night. I remember the first time we met. She was a beautiful child. Long dark curly hair large brown eyes. She very smart and wanted to go to school. She was the pride of her mother and father and especially Aunt Jessie. So proud of her baby brother and so protective of him It brings tears to my heart to remember all the memories of our times together. Oh to live those times again

    Claudia was a good friend, a fun friend, a devoted friend and all around great person. We shared many great times as young teens and were still in touch as “older adults”. Nicole, I know you and your family will all miss her dreadfully, please let your many happy memories console you now in your grief, but sustain you over the years as you remember her fondly.

    I met Claudia when our husbands were students at the Univ of Missouri at Rolla.
    Nicole, . Your mother called me Patty. We kept in touch by phone 2-3 times a year.
    I would love to talk with you.

    I always felt Claudia knew without words when her friends needed an extra hug and support.. About a week after my husband passed away Claudia called. When I answered she immediate ask What’s wrong with Vern? I hadn’t spoken to her yet.knowing it was going to be a difficult call. Yet in her heart she knew .
