So sorry for your loss. I worked with Claire at Bellsouth on Poydras street after Hurricane Katrina. Beside the fact that she was a good-looking woman, she was smart, and a really fine refined lady. I'm sure she'll be missed. God has a plan for her. Stay strong.

I had the pleasure of working with Claire at BellSouth. She was a joyful, classy lady. Rest In Peace, my Sister
