I will never forget Claudine,when she moved down here on Balboa peninsula we became pretty good friends,she was a beautiful person,RIP lil one...

I lost my father this week and this morning I remembered Claudene whom I met while working at Hollywood Park Race Track. She had an indescribable spirit and while I only knew her for a couple years, her passing still affects me. Like many other artists and passionate people, she did could not be held down to lead an ordinary life. Her open heart and boundless energy is what attracted people to her... it was not just her beauty. I will never forget her and my heart goes out to her family and...

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

I had the pleasure of becoming friends with Claudene for a short time in California. Her wonderful energy radiated and inspired me. She was smart, creative, and loved to sing her heart out. She was always so much fun. Yesterday I learned of the tragedy that cut her life short. She is in my prayers.

The Bounty was in Lunenburg, NS in August 2012, and I had to board that ship and tour around it. I only wish I had met you that day. RIP Claudene

Claudene, sorry for your loss of life, we both lost my 4th (Midshipman George Stewart) great grandfather off the Bounty, but on the Pandora, and your 5th great grandfather as related to the HMS Bounty. I only met you once, and Rest In Peace cousin. Bob Smith of San Pedro, California. I had thought that she the Bounty would have been better at sea. I was wrong.

Today on FB I found Dina, your mother. We were friends during Jr. High and High School.....It broke my heart when I found she had lost you....I too lost my only child in 2006 Kimberly. I know you and my Kimmi are watching, and have helped put us back in each others lives. My prayers for your family, Linda, Doris, your mom and I'm sure you have lots of cousins....

You left us doing what you loved, that is what passion is all about.....You are with Kimmi and doing God's work...that is...

I had a chance to sail HMS bounty with claudene in 2012 for two weeks. What a loving caring ship mate. So personable. Well spoken. She had an amazing voice listening to her sing at night on the ship. I miss her and loved her. We were both in our 40s and had so much in common. I miss you dear ship mate. So tragic how your life ended. My heart is still heavy with saddness

…because time and unexpected events overtake them all. For man does not know his time. Just as fish are caught in an evil net and birds are caught in a trap, so the sons of men are ensnared in a time of disaster, when it suddenly overtakes them (Eccl. 9:11,12). The hope is your families and friends trust the God of comfort in these tragic times. We continue to pray for the lost of you and yours.
