I went to Hartford with Claudia and she never ceased to amaze me with her intellect. I always admired her.

All I can say is, what a person. God certainly prepared a special person in Claudia Booker.
I met her at the University of Hartford in 1968. She positively challenged people to be better. I wish I could have known her more.

to the Booker Family,
my thoughts are with you; remembering the good time your dad and mine(Uncle Robert)had together..and sitting in your father's office with the rest of the "children" when i was sick, in college.

Claudia's presence on this earth made a difference. She was a passionate professional who cared deeply about birthing. She cared about her excellence and her babies, her moms and families. Claudia's spirit rises, but her essence remains with all of us who knew her and with her family.

Claudia was an inspiration to me, since the day we trained together as Birth Doulas. She will be sorely missed. My condolences to her family!
