Not sure what to say?

Dear Jennifer and Dan Jr.
We met your mom and dad just before Jennifer was born and easily got to know and love them. We were next door neighbors in a trailer park near Ft Stewart, Georgia where your dad and I were in flight school. The obituary you wrote, Jennifer, as difficult but I think as rewarding as it was, fit your mom to a “T”.
You described her directness and dedication to any task before her. And Linda and I saw that first hand on the day that your dad was flying and your...

Deaf Dan & Family,
At Tom's funeral, Claire told me she was supposed to meet Tom in heaven, and he went ahead of her.
They were both strong warrior's. There's no more pain.
I'm glad you had so many years together.
Now we wait our turn.
God's blessings to you and your family.

May God be with the Wind ham family during this of deep sorrow. Commendations to her for her contributions to her community. Godspeed. MHS, Auburn '64, Troy '91 MPA. Offering our sympathy and condolences.

Claire Windham was the quintessential classy and bubbly southern lady. Claire and her husband Dan have represented our company in Pensacola for over 30 years.
When you meet Claire you are instantly happy and feel very welcome. She had an amazing presence about her.
I understood this later as she was a follower of Christ and was always optimistic and positive all the time. One never felt bad being around her or talking to her on the phone.
She will be missed but I hope that Dan...

Dan,
Thinking of you, Marla, and your family during this time of sorrow.

Claire was an encouragement to so many. She made people feel like they mattered to her - because they did, and she was not afraid to say so. Claire shared her excitement with us when our first grandson was born and supported us during sad times. She was always a strong tower I knew I could depend on. She had wise advice (with a little mischievousness for fun’s sake), always given with a twinkle in her eyes. I loved Claire and I always will. My heartfelt condolences to all who love her.

She was a good friend, high school classmate, and wife of my second cousin Danny Windham.

Dear Dan, Jennifer, Daniel, and families,

We are so sorry for your loss. Aunt Claire truly broke the mold. She was lovely both inside and outside, and we will always keep her in our hearts.

It’s been more than 50 years, but I still remember the day we met. My family and Aunt Madge’s family were visiting my grandparents in New Brockton, and we were all enjoying the shade on their wide front porch. Uncle Danny drove up in his plum-colored Karman Ghia, Claire stepped...
