Claire befriended my mother - Cecile - after meeting her through my mother's cousin Floyd. A wonderful, sweet person, my husband and I immediately adopted her into our family (we were caregivers to my mother at the time). Ironically, I learned that Kim DeGruy was caring for Claire (I worked with Kim at Wicker School years earlier). There was so much that tied us together but the ultimate bond was the love that grew between us. We lost contact with Claire as our Cecile passed on in May 2017...

Condolences to the Sherrod family on the loss of your mother. Ms. Sherrod was my second grade teacher at Blessed Sacrament. Over the years we were in contact with one another, she was such a sweet and caring lady. Rest in heaven dear Claire.
