I met Mrs. Claudette through our WEW group. She was a very interesting person and very well loved. I particularly remember when we had a meeting at Union Chapel Church in the fellowship hall; She had a lovely singing voice. May God Bless and comfort all of you.

So sorry to hear about Claudette. Lonnie and Claudette were special people to me. I was one of the National Spinning guys who lived in Duplin County and followed Lonnie to Washington. They always opened their house to me.

Claudette was one of a kind. I enjoyed working with her at WARE. We had some great times! She really loved her children and was so proud of them. My prayers are with you all.

Lonnie and family, I am so sorry for your loss. I know how much all of you will miss her bright and smiling face. No matter how much she went through, she always kept smiling. She never complained...what a strong woman she was! I will miss her every day... but our loss is heaven's gain. She is happy and free of all her earthly burdens at last.
