Claudia you were the Sister I never had, you carried yourself with such grace, class and sophistication. Always kept your head up, no matter what you faced.
I will never forget our shopping together, trying new wine selections and calling each other on Thursday nights when Scandal was on! Thank you Craig and Shawn for taking care of your Mom! She loved you guys and her grandchildren! Thank you Stephanie for sharing your sister with me! Pastor Roland and Sandra Forbes and to all her brothers/sisters/family you all are in my prayers!

Rest in paradise Ms Hawkins you will be greatly missed. My son which is your grandson Shaun Hawkins Jr. misses you so much and cried and just kept asking why this happened to his grandma because this was not fair. All I can do is hold him and hug him and explain to him that God called one of his angels home and that you are no longer suffering. While he is quite young and doesn't fully understand he does know enough that he didn't want his grandma to suffer any longer. We are sending our love and prayers to the family and may God continue to strengthen you all during this difficult time.

I am saddened to hear of Claudia's passing. Her strength and compassion for others made a powerful impact wherever she traveled, especially home base. May you take comfort that she was loved and give yourselves permission to be sad. But overall, it is our faith as Claudia stated that sustains us and that she was set free in this life and fully alive with her heavenly family. Lucy Palowski, formerly of Bank of America.
