MICHELLE & TRAVIS & BRIT:
I AM SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS. IF I CAN EVER BE OF HELP TO ANY OF YOU PLEASE LET ME KNOW. I AM STILL WORKING AT C & C SO I CAN BE REACHED THERE OR AT HOME. I HAVE JUST RETURNED FROM THE FUNERAL SERVICE. IT WAS VERY TOUCHING AND A WONDERFUL MEMORIAL FOR A UNIQUE AND BEAUTIFUL PERSON. I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER THE CHARMING, COMPLEX, LOVING, COMPASSIONATE PERSON THAT WAS CLAUDIA. THE PHOTOS THAT YOU CHOSE CAPTURED HER ESSENCE. HER SON IS VERY LUCKY TO HAVE THOSE PHOTOS TO REMEMBER HER WITH. HE IS ALSO VERY LUCKY TO HAVE YOU BOTH TO NURTURE HIM THROUGH WHAT MUST BE A DEVASTATINGLY PAINFUL TIME. OUR FAMILY HAS YOU IN OUR PRAYERS.
Thinking of you all. Our prayers are with you.
Dear Travis, Michelle & Brit:
There isn’t much that one cay say to ease your sadness on this day but hope that a better and brighter tomorrow will bring you much comfort and lessen the pain. I wish I had known Claudia. I know how much she was loved by all of you. Lean on those who love you in your time of grief.
Always,
Becky
I DID NOT KNOW CLAUDIA PERSONALLY. BUT
I DO KNOW HER FATHER, TRAVIS AND HER
SISTER, MICHELE. TRAVIS LOVED CLAUDIA
AS A GOOD FATHER SHOULD. HE SHOWED HIS
FEELINGS IN MANY WAYS. HE DID NOT HAVE
TELL HER THAT HE LOVED HER. YOU JUST KNEW
HOW HE FELT. THE OLD SAYING ACTIONS SPEAK
LOUDER THAN WORDS. TRAVIS WILL MISS CLAUDIA
BUT LIFE GOES ON. HE STILL HAS PART OF
CLAUDIA THROUGH HER SON, BRIT, AND HE STILL
HAS HIS OTHER DAUGHTER, MICHELLE.
MY THOUGHTS ARE WITH YOU.

YOU WERE IN OUR LIVES FOR 10 YEARS AND BECAME A MEMBER OF OUR FAMILY. YOU HAVE BEEN A SISTER AND MORE. WE WILL MISS YOU VERY MUCH. WE WILL CONTINUE TO LOOK OUT FOR BRIT. BRIT KNOW THAT WE ARE ALWAYS HERE FOR YOU ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS PICK UP THE PHONE. GOD BLESS
My thoughts and prayers are with Brit and her Farther & sister. Claudia was a good person and friend. I wish she had given us more time in her life. God takes care of her now, as he will Brit. I hope Brit knows just how much she loved him. Peace be with all of you.
Her friend, Teresa
Travis, Michelle, Britt,
Those we love and the gift of their love are never replaced or forgotten, but live in our hearts for all eternity.
Our love and prayers are with you.
