I met Mrs. Claudette through our WEW group. She was a very interesting person and very well loved. I particularly remember when we had a meeting at Union Chapel Church in the fellowship hall; She had a lovely singing voice. May God Bless and comfort all of you.

So sorry to hear about Claudette. Lonnie and Claudette were special people to me. I was one of the National Spinning guys who lived in Duplin County and followed Lonnie to Washington. They always opened their house to me.

Lonnie and family, I am so sorry for your loss. I know how much all of you will miss her bright and smiling face. No matter how much she went through, she always kept smiling. She never complained...what a strong woman she was! I will miss her every day... but our loss is heaven's gain. She is happy and free of all her earthly burdens at last.

Lonnie and family-our hearts are so heavy with sadness in the loss of your Mom. What an encourager she was to all of us. I was one of the group to meet each week for supper and bible study. She always lifted me up. We will miss her so much. I know that she is with her Lord, Lonnie,Sr. and has finally met her Claudia Jane. Love and prayers to the family.

I did not know any of you but I knew Claudette. I met her through a Widows Fellowship Group in Beaufort County. She was always a blessing and a joy to be around. She hosted us in her home and what a good time we had there. My thoughts and prayers are with you and I rejoice in knowing she is with the Lord and her body is whole and perfect now with no pain. God bless each of you.

Phil and I are so very sorry for the loss of Claudette. She was a wife to one , a mother to three, a grandmother to eight, and a friend to hundreds. She was one of kind with a very strong will that kept her going strong. She was a superwoman because no one ever thought that she could live by herself after the passing of Lonnie Sr but she did, and she did it with gusto. You will be missed dear friend. Go rest high upon that mountain.
