On meeting Claudia you were immediately captivated by her mystical smile. Then her magical way of expressing friendship and compassion came shining through, in her kind words and benevolent actions.
Moments later, and forever after, you fell in love with Claudia.
Claudia brought out the best in people, and gave them her best. She fought for the oppressed and unfortunate. She devoted herself tirelessly and lovingly to her friends and beloved family.
When illness struck, Claudia struck back with a vengeance. Her spirit gave her strength. Her strength supported all around her.
Claudia was true. She was genuine. Claudia was honest, heartwarming, full of hope and humor and infinitely decent and kind. She was an exquisitely beautiful human being.
She gave us more than we can measure.
We will think of Claudia often. We will live by her example. We will miss her very much.
We are and always will be, in love with Claudia.
