Aunt Claudia, You will be greatly missed. I will always remember you and my mom making me try liver and onions at your home. My displeasure for the meal before it hit my tongue and the two of you laughing at me is just one of the many memories that I will always have from you. I wish that your time here could have been longer but I know that there is no more suffering. You are finally at peace. We love you and will forever miss you. Love Dana and Gregg

Claudia...how sad to hear of your passing. I know how close you were with your family. We had some good times together in Lincoln Park. Your laughter was contagious..your whole family loved to laugh. I remember when Melissa, Doris, Margaret & I attended school together, we would just look at each other & laugh. I know your family will miss you terribly, but they know they will see you again, may that bring you all comfort, knowing that she is with the Lord, "singing the family song", this time with her angels. She will keep giving advice, having the long talks...just listen, you will hear her. She loved you all, as you did her...our deepest sympathy to you all. A big yet sad hello to your family. May God Bless you all & give you peace. Love & God Bless Linda (Riddle) Jent *always remember that God gave us memories so we could have roses in December.

We are very sorry hear of the loss of your special daughter, sister, wife, mother Claudia! We knew you as the oldest daughters who use to come over to Paige's house. Always friendly, had a smile on her face, and always stop to chat.... The best part was remembering the great parties with you and your family! Our family use to get the biggest kick out of seeing the sisters singing and dancing to "We are Family"! That was always the best part of all your events. I will never forget when you and I sat down and talked about our awful disease, sorta ironic that we were both the oldest of the kids. Also, when you called me and we talked again you said you would pray for me and I prayed for you often! I know you are finally at peace and you will have no more suffering! Each time I hear �We are family", I will always think of you and your sisters. You will be truly missed within your family. God Bless you and your family.

Dear Claudie, I came to know you through a dear & loving friend - your sister Doris. I didn't get the opportunity to know you as well as I would have liked to, but meeting any one part of your family has been a blessing to me. There is something special about people from the south, several families seem to join & become one. I know you're in a better place now, but your love, devotion & your smile live on in the hearts of all your family! "I thought of you with Love today, but that is nothing new. I thought about you yesterday and days before that too. I think of you in silence, I often speak your name, All I have are memories and your picture in a frame. Your memory is my keepsake, with which I'll never part. God has you in his keeping, I have you in my heart.

Here it is Dec. 19 and I still have a hard time coming to grips with your leaving those who loved you so much. Your Mom called me on Sunday afternoon and we talked for a while. She misses you terribly and I tried to assure her that she would see you again. I can't imagine the pain she's going through. I told her that your family was one I admired. For all the years I've known you all, you've been close and true to one another. You let nothing come between you. You are Family in a day that doesn't seem to mean much to many people. May you rest well Claudie.

Tiffany and Ron Rybicki
Aunt Claudie, I know that you know how much you were loved and how much you will be missed by our entire family. It deeply saddens me that you will not get to meet your new great niece, but she will know all about how strong, beautiful, caring, and loving that you were. I cannot wait to read her the book that you gave her, (Guess How Much I Love You) so she will know how much you loved her and she of course will love and miss you. I hope that she will share some those great characteristics that you have shown and taught us over the years. I want to thank you for being a great daughter, sister, mother, wife, aunt and friend to many. All the people in you life will miss you greatly, but one day we all will be together again and I can watch all my crazy aunts do thier little circle dance to "We Are Family" and maybe that time I won't be as embarassed! love and miss you forever, Tiffy, Ron, and Baby Chloe

Words can't express how saddened we were to learn of Claudie's death. Thanks to her Mom introducing us, our families have known one another for over 40 years. Claudie was the one in charge, the organizer, the reader, the other Mom to her siblings and a dear friend. She will be missed.
