We are so sorry to have just learned of Ms Baker’s death. She and her daughter Claudia, were always wonderful caring neighbors. She had a big heart always willing to share, Steve especially food. She had a big love for children, and was always up for a visit where we would just sit and chat. We will miss her smile, her great laugh and her. May God comfort you Claudia and Mark, her family and loved ones.
