Many fond memories of Claudia at Smithville Elementary. She’d pop in to my room each morning as she was collecting attendance lists from classrooms! We always had a good chat!! Our kids’ Ballgames we’re a frequent topic.
She was a devoted mom and special lady. Rest In Heavenly Peace my friend!!
Ryan, Jen and family…
So sorry for your loss.
