Our condolences to the family. We had some good times when she would visit us in Az. on her way with Hugh or going to see Hugh in Mexico. She had a wonderful wit about her and she always spoke her mind whether you agreed with her or not. If you were her friend you were special.

Claudia, my dear friend I will miss you everyday. I know our maker will take you with him so I know I will see you again. love you so much..

I reflect upon the past growing up in Marysville and hanging out at the Summers household. Claudia would enjoy hearing stories about what the boys were up to and always making funny jokes. It was fun hanging with Todd and Bret and the Family, they always made you feel welcome in their home.
Years later I would see Claudia, she would ask questions, how things going, how's your family
Generally interested in what was going on in your life. Sad to hear of her passing. She raised 3 great children whom I am sure made her very proud.
My condolences to the Summers Family,
- The Witter Family in California
