Claudia was a strong and intelligent woman with positive ideas. An educator and an organizer. Strong in her beliefs, she willingly gave her time and effort to forward those convictions. I loved her and admired her and will miss m our conversations.

Godspeed, Claudia. She was my mother Jean’s first cousin, much loved by her, my sister Sis, and all of our family. I have many wonderful memories of and about her and she will be greatly missed. I’m sure she is with the rest of the family who have gone before her, laughing, talking and singing together “Naki-San, Naki-San, Naki-San”!
