Tommy, Jolie, Gabriella, Carley, Mr. George and Mrs. Mae Mansour,
Claudia and I were inseparable during our grammer school years at St. Clement of Rome. I admired her atheletic ability. She was an outstanding runner, swimmer, baseball and volleyball player. She was a WONDERFUL friend: warm, loving and compassionate. God was always a focus in her family life. Her home was full of friends. Just as we would pray together at school and CYA, I would like to leave you with
Psalm 23
The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I lack.
In green pastures you let me graze;
to safe waters you lead me;
you restore my strength.
You guide me along the right path
for the sake of your name.
Even when I walk through a dark valley,
I fear no harm, for you are at my side;
your rod and staff give me courage.
You set a table before me
as my enemies watch;
You annoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
Only goodness and love will pursue me
all the days of my life;
I will dwell in the house of the Lord
for years to come.
Your mom will live forever through you. She will always be with you through GOD. After your grief and sadness painstakingly and gradually starts to fade, you will begin to see the grace of God and know that your mom is still with you, if not in body but in spirit. She is smiling down on you from heaven every minute of your day!
I am close by if you ever need me. I will keep you all in my prayers and close in my heart.
With all my love,
Michelle Garcia (married name Bannon),
From NOLA to The Woodlands, TX

Dear Claudia's family ~ I offer my heart-felt condolences to you. I was in Lisa's class at Dominican and remember Claudia as a super self-confident, vibrant, friendly person! She always had a gorgeous smile on her face and lived life to it's fullest, a trait that obviously went with her through life. Rest assured that Claudia will always be with you, her family and friends, in a very meaningful way.

Your family is in my prayers. I played volleyball with Claudia at Dominican. She was a good friend, a great teammate, and a person you could count on to make everyone laugh and smile. She will never be forgotten, and her spirit will live on in her family, especially in her beautiful daughters.

I was deeply saddened and shocked to hear about Claudia. We went to Dominican, LSU, and LSU Nursing School together. We went on to work at Baptist hospital and I can remember when she had Jolie. We lost touch after she moved out of the country but I remember her smile and sweet personality. My heart and prayers go out to her and her family.

I do not know your family, but was scrolling through the obituaries and noticed Mrs. Martin was my age and I also have 3 children. I was moved to say a prayer for your family. May the peace that passes all understanding be with you and your children.
