Claudia Schmidt

I've know Claudia since first grade...she was such a kind, thoughtful, insightful person....she will be missed

I remember her kind spirit and ready smile. Claudia will be remembered always...

Dearest Claudia, I will never forget the many golden hours of those long lost days of youth: baking a gingerbread house together... being fairies in A Midsummer Nights Dream... writing notes to each other both in Elvish script and Dwarvish runes... singing our favorites songs from Tolkien to the tunes you composed... and our endless "Society for Putting Things on Top of Things" doodles during algebra. You were a loyal and constant friend, cheerful and funny, and your quiet, compassionate...

Claudia was a brilliant student of mine many years ago and as we stayed in touch over the years I was privileged to watch her grow intellectually and find a place in the world. Spiritually, emotionally, and well as intellectually she was a remarkable person.

My thoughts are with Hart, Ada, Steven and his family. Claudia was a kind and gentle person who will be missed by many.

Claudia, your sense of humor always grabbed my attention during our conversations. I hope you have found peace. You will be missed and never forgotten.

Claudia and I used to discuss Hume at Alterra coffee. I shall miss those meetings with her. She was a wonderful young woman and colleague.

I personally was touched by Claudia"s gentleness. She had great "heart".

Claudia will be missed by her many friends, colleagues, and students in Milwaukee. She was a spark of kindness and compassion in this dark world.
