I can't seem to get you all out of my mind. It is a very terrible thing you have all went through. I only had the pleasure of meeting Claudia a few times and talked to her many but I know she was a very wonderful person with a very wonderful family. My thoughts and prayers are with you all, ALWAYS. If there is anything I can ever do please let me know. She now is in a better place with no worries or pain and she will forever watch over all of us. God Bless.

Dr. Rinkov and Family,
I was of the blessed children to have Mrs. Rinkov as my first grade teacher at Dunloe Elementary. She had such a special relationship with each of her students and someone I will always remember. My family started coming to you for eye care as soon as you started and we continue to this day now with my own children. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of grief.

Dear Jeff and Family, I didn't know your mother well, but I remember her as such a warm and vibrant person the few times I met her. I am so sorry you have to experience the loss of your mother so early in life. My sincere condolences to all of you.

We do not have the words to give you comfort. Only the memory of Claudia's love for all of you can do that. No one can give a satisfactory answer to the question why bad things happen to good people but in Claudia's case the question should be why do bad things happen to the best person. If there is a divine plan to challenge the best of us, Claudia passed with flying colors. She faced her illness with determination, grace and an indomitable spirit. She has been will continue to be an inspiration to us all. We apologize for not being there to share your grief but we are in NYC celebrating the birth of Sami's son. Claudia, of all people, would have understood. Love,

Claudia will continue to touch others with the beauty of her spirit. Her gifts will remain with with you always and be part of the future generations in your family. I know that the sense of loss is great, but with time she will be remembered with happiness and gratitude for being a wonderful wife, mother and friend. Sincerely, Robin Winokur

People pass through your life,but friends leave footprints. This is what the heart says in hebrew that Claudia gave to me on my 60th birthday just last year. Those words are so true. I will never have another treasured friend like her. I love you my dear pal. Hugs, Linda Freedman
