Claudia and I disputed anchorman in 2007. She thought the movie was lame. I thought it was poigniant to psychiatric humor. Alex my brother coroborated my theory. Rest Claudia. Frank Vezja Hozjou.

I knew Claudia as a childhood friend. My mother, Catherine, babysat & cleaned for Dr. & Mrs. Michalek and brought my brother and myself along when she cleaned the summer home in Angola. We'd play on the beach, take walks to the nearby park, get ice cream, etc., etc. it was so long ago, but the memories are still fresh in my mind. I'm so sorry to read of Claudia's passing. My condolences to the family.

Leo, Paul, John and family, she was a beautiful person who did so much with her life, yet she suffered so much at the end. There are no words to express my sorrow. May God give her eternal happiness and PEACE.

To Claudia's family and friends,
I am so sorry to hear of Claudia's death. She and I were at Mt. Mercy during the same time period though I did not know her. Then, by coincidence, we ended up living across the street from each other. She was so new to the neighborhood I did not have a chance to get to know her. I am very sorry.
