Claudia Stryker

I miss you so much. U were my first true best friend and taught me how to be happy. I wish u were still here to see the person I’ve become & the memories we could have made. I’m 27 now but only 11 when I lost u, the only person who really understood me & helped me see the world. I miss our exercise nights & going for ice cream. & blasting Drowning pool in the drive way singing at the top of our lungs. I miss u so much & hope u are proud of what u see from up there.

Dear Claudia,
I was so very saddened to hear about your passing.We all at MRC were so lucky to have had the time to have known you.You are such a great person,it is so nice to know that we all have a guardian angel looking upon us. May you rest in peace and god bless you and your family.

Renata, I am so sorry to hear that Claudia has lost her courageous battle. I am sorry, that I have not kept in better touch with you over the years. I feel like I have; because of Katie and Claudia's friendship,I was able to keep informed about you and your family. I know how strong your sense of family is from our days at MRC and I was not at all surprised by your unsefishness in taking care of Claudia. Please know that you are in my prayers and that Claudia appreciated everything that you...

To Claudia’s family,

Claudia was a beautiful person, inside & out. I feel truly blessed to have known her & to have called her my friend. She touched so many lives in a positive way. She was dedicated and committed to her students, family and friends. I will always cherish the memories that I have of Claudia.


May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face; the rains fall soft upon your...

At Maria Regina College where we went to school together, Claudia was always a burst of energy when she walked into a room and always a smile. I have since moved to Florida and was very saddened to see her name in the obituraries. My condolences to her family and friends in PA and NY. I know she had many.

Claudia my friend, I am so blessed that you and I had the wonderful opportunity of becoming friends. We created a lot of memories that I will never forget. I will miss you but I know I have a special guardian angel looking over me. May God bless you as you have blessed all of us. Rest in peace my friend and know I will never forget you and all the great times we had. Your fourth Floor MRC buddies will always love you!!

To Claudia's family, I truly admired her courage and optimisim, it was contagious! She was such a good friend, and my heart is heavy. But I hope you find comfort, as I do, knowing that she will be watching over us and still passing on her courage and optimism.You all continue to be in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Katie

I am so very sorry to hear about Claudia. We went to Maria Regina to gether in 1982. She was a close floor mate. She was a great help to me when I moved in becasue I was scared but she made me feel okay to be away from home and she was even farther away than me. She introduced me to makeup and Syracuse night life when I met Renata and her 2 apartment mates who were heavy into the music scene. She was always excited about music and I can , to this day remember her singing in the student...
