Claudia, you will be missed. You and I have become friends and traveling sisters over the years. I'll miss our morning and evening talks and I'll miss hearing you say, "I know that's right girlfriend and I'm blessed and highly favored". I think God for giving me the chance to know you as a women of God who loved Him and others. It willn't be the same downstairs not seeing you there saying "welcome to First Emanual", but the love and smiles you shared we will always remember. Welcome home Claudia, It's your time to rest from labor to reward.

Walking through the doors of First Emanuel will never be the same again. Ms. Claudia made you smile EVERY SUNDAY as she welcomed all of us into the sanctuary. So glad that I had the opportunity to meet Ms. Claudia and receive my hug and kiss on Sunday mornings.

Meeting Ms. Claudia at FEBC on Sunday mornings has been an amazing experience as she took part in training my family as Ushers. We are forever grateful to have had the chance to learn the early assignments upon arrival before service begins. Greeter was always worn proudly with her voice echoing through the church " WELCOME TO FIRST EMANUEL" to each and every person who set foot through the door. I am sure I'm not the only one who will miss those days.....
Love Always,
