Condolence: Gary & family, I know your hearts are breaking, so young & so much left to do. There are no answers sometimes in life, we just have to live with them & go on. When I think of Claudia, I can truly say she was to most beautiful baby I have ever seen. I remember one particular time, Linda had her down at Dr. Lawrence's office. She had her dressed in a little white dress with either red apples or poka dots, I can't remember. Her dark hair, big blue eyes, china doll complextion, & full rose colored lips, were breath taking. I will be thinking of you in the next few months...know that I love you guys. Love, June

Condolence: To the Family and Friends of Claudia, My thoughts and prayers are with you in the days ahead, God bless you. Cynthia J. Gibbs
