    I have benefitted from Claudia’s love of cooking. Personally and through her daughter, Cynthia.
    She was a very special and interesting lady.
    God Bless and comfort all of you.

    I’m sorry to hear about your mother. She was a friend of my mothers and I had talked to her over the phone when she was told about her cancer. My prayers are with her family.
