Bud and Family,

Some of my fondest childhood memories surround your family's presence! I have some of the most precious memories from reunions in Oklahoma, visits at my Grandparents (Giddeon and Nannie Saunders) home, to Sea World adventures in California! Claudine was one of the most loving, caring, sweet and giving people that I have ever known. I loved her so much! She was truely a gift from God. May God comfort you all in your time of sorrow and know that she is in his care now. God bless you all! My thoughts and prayers are with you during your time of sadness.
