Thinking of you. Praying for your peace and comfort during this difficult time.

Sisters by marriage but family and friends forever.  My life has been forever blessed.  Until we meet again in heaven. You are greatly loved and missed.

Claudia was an amazing source of knowledge with the USMS--she always knew the how and why.  Few realize it was through her efforts that we have a complete listing of U.S. Marshals from 1789 to 1989, and I use this everyday.  I know it as "Claudia's Book."  What a wonderful person that all will miss!

 Claudia was most helpful and patient with me when i was going thru the background process for nomination for US Marshal for the District of CT.  

Talked with her on the phone numerous times and finally met her along with my wife when I visited USMS Headquarters in DC.  Always most gracious and professional.  With her guidance, made a difficult process look simple 

Thank you for all you did in helping me attain the coveted law enforcement position. 

I meet Claudia for the first time in the emergency room at the VHC, after her daughter Cara broke her nose on a well-hit softball! She used her wonderful sense of humor to put me at ease after this incident. I truly admired her openning her home to many foster children. She raised three caring teachers I had the priviledge to work with over the next 20 years.

Lin and Family,

Joan and I are very sad to hear of Claudia's passing.  She was a great friend and colleague at the USMS. Her friendly and positive attitude made her a joy to work with.  We talked about her foster care, which always impressed me with her devotion to helping children in need.  She made the world a better place.

We are heart broken at the passing of this beautiful human being.  We first met Claudia when we had the honor of coaching their two daughters, Lauren and Cara, and Claudia was the team mother.  It did not take long for us to realize what a wonderfully special women she was.  This began a relationship that lasted to this day.  Visiting each others homes over the years;  watching children and grandchildren grow; and having the privilege of knowing and loving this family has been a blessing we have been honored to experience.  Our deepest condolences to Lin and the entire family.  We have all lost an amazing, caring, and loving, woman.  Rest in peace  Claudia. We love you.
