Claude...On behalf of the Las Amigas Social Club we want to extend our deepest sympathy. Your mother was truly a friend and a delight to know. She had a great love of life and she deeply loved you and her grandchildren. No one could be sad if she was around because she kept us laughing all the time. She truly was the life of the party. We will truly miss her.

Condolences to the family from New Orleans.
She was a friend of my mom but she always treated us as one of her children. When she was around it was never a dull moment. She lived her life to the fullest. She will be greatly missed.
