So Sorry to hear that Claudia passed away...sometimes we are so out of touch with the people we loved and admired in our early years. She was truly one of the most caring, loving individuals I have ever met. I know my Mother Bert Barker and her were best of friends. They are surely reunited and having a wonderful time in Heaven watching over their families who are still alive and kicking in this earthly realm. Love and Peace to All.
