I new Claudia as a professional geneticist. It took me a long time to realize I had not heard from her in quite a bit. I was saddened by her passing. Her suffering is over.

I will truly miss you, my dear Facebook friend. We only spoke on the phone a couple of times because we were just getting to know one another. I really loved our interactions and your wonderful sense of humor. Rest easy my friend...

My sincere condolences to Claudia's family and friends.
I only knew her in cyberspace, but I enjoyed her many posts and her knowledge of her environment.
Rest In Peace, dear one. You spot in the OTs is noticeably absent.

I will miss your sage and sometimes cryptic messages, sweet Claudia. My life will be lesser without you in it.

Cousin, I will miss you! Even though we had just had regular phone conversations, very long ones, over the last decades, we had shared great visits in Louisville when we (including Tracy) were kids. Horse crazy as we were as little girls, it was sad to see the Derby this weekend and think of you being on 'the Backside.' No more pain cousin! Still love you bunches!
