Our paths crossed in the Islip/East Islip neighborhoods; St Mary's, CRES,
7-11 in the early AM and E.Third Ave. Although never formally introduced, Claudia's infectious smile, and often times cheery good morning always stood out in my mind.
My condolences to her husband and three daughters.

I just heard of Claudia's passing this past weekend. My deepest condolences to Mike and the girls. Claudia and I worked together as the "tall" lunch monitors in the Islip schools. I too loved her kindness and laughter. My prayers are with you during this time of grief.
