My deepest sympathy to the entire Schnorr family. We grew up together on Webster Road, Orchard Park. Later we remained friends through Facebook. She would remind me of our shared April birthdays.
I have very fond memories of

I'm so sorry to hear of Claudia's passing. I have many fond memories at BGH Nursing school, lots of shenanigans , her dry sense of humor was always shining. Sending condolences to all.
