Baby played......Baby laughed....She loved coming here to the group, to escape for a brief moment, from the medications and the testings. She loved coming here and seeing what everyone was doing, and participating in coloring of walls, and water fights. She loved her G.I. Joes.....and she loved, even more, knowing that you all, were healthy, happy, and enjoying being yourselves. She knew...that some of us, couldn't do that in our real lives, but we could come to the group, and be who we really are and be accepted. She helped to bring that love and acceptance into the group.

I will miss my conversations with her on the phone. I will miss how she would talk to Al, in Spanish, and I would remind her that I understood what she was talking about....lol..(Then she would say, Darn...now I can't have any fun!) I missed how she said that a computer software, that types when you talk into it, wouldn't recognize her words, because she is Latina and from Louisiana...lol...and that it kept typing words that could be taken as dirty. I will miss her humor.

I will miss....that tender side of her, that would not remove a member of ours, that had passed away last year, because Claudia said she was a member for life. She was a WWAUS sissy.

She will always be an outstanding person to me, who learned to love from this group, and gave so much more, love, back.

Everytime I see a Leather jacket......I will think of her. Everytime I see a beautiful rose, I will think of her. Everytime I see the twinkle in a child's eyes, I will think of that mischievous side of her.

My dear friend........you will never be forgotten. Never! There is just too much of you, in everything, for you to ever be forgotten. You loved life. You loved the beauty in all things. You loved us, with all of your heart!

And we love you!!!

Hugs, Jules

Dear Richard

Dear Richard, I do not have the words to express how deeply my heart feels for your loss of Claudia...indeed, it is a loss to all who knew her in any capacity. Please know how much she blessed our days here in Misker's Den as she joined in at egroups and how wonderfully bright her spirit shone upon us when we chatted. We will miss her dearly. My prayers are with you, Richard....God bless and keep you in His tender care as you face the days ahead.

With my love and deep sympathy, Marty aka Curious

Richard, my heart and my prayers are there with you. I loved that woman with all of my heart. I need to talk to you about the funeral arrangements so that I can send flowers from the group. As we talked about earlier, I am here anytime you need to talk or just to vent. Much love, Dianna

Dear Richard,

I share in your grief today.

It is a very hard thing to suddenly be without someone that has been a true friend. And I know that Claudia was a true friend to you. No matter what anyone said to you (including knuckleheads like me) she would just smile and just keep flowing love to everyone around her. What confidence! What knowingness!

How lucky you are to have known such a person. To share 11 years of your journey with such a person. To really get to know such a person. And, how lucky it was for Claudia to find you and likewise have the true friend that you were to her, during her journey.

I will celebrate in the good fortune that both of you have been able to share with each other. I will take a win from having known Claudia and I will try to "love my fellows despite all reasons I should not" as a way of remembering and honoring her Greatness.

Warm Regards,

Guy

Richard, I have been crying all day. I just feel numb. I still can't believe it happened. I know she is at peace, now, and not in pain.......but I miss her soooo much!

These words of love, are just absolutely wonderful Richard. And you must know, that she loves you so very, very much. She always told me of the love you showed her and the wonderful things you would do for her. You and Al were everything to her.

I am still trying to get a grasp on this, but I will always be here for you, Richard. I know this is so very hard on you. And Al, as well. But please remember, that you are family to me. Just as Claudia is, and will always be, my sister.

((((((((((((((((((Richard & Al))))))))))))))))))

Hugs, Jules

Richard: I am truly sorry for your loss. Misker's sent us your dedication page to your wife and it made me cry. I cried for your loss and I cried for the happiness you did have these last 11 years. I could tell you were extremely devoted to her. Your love is so evident in your words. I hope that time will help you heal your hurt. I am here if you need me.

Love, Peachy1

I will keep you and the family in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless, Dorothea

Deepest sympathies

Dearest Richard, I want to send my heartfelt sympathies and condolences to you as you mourn the loss of your beloved Claudia. This e-card is one of my favorites, and I send it as a reminder to celebrate and remember all the wonderful memories you have of your time together with her.

I feel so bad now for not getting an e-card sent to her sooner. I had intended to send her a note of thanks over the weekend for her kind birthday wishes in my guestbook, but I had been ill. I am so sorry.

Take care, and may you feel the presence of angels around you at this difficult and painful time.

Dearest Richard,

My thoughts and prayers are with you and Al as you try to get through this terrible time. She fought so bravely for such a long time. Her body just couldn't take anymore, but her spirit is as strong and bright as ever. I wish her God Speed, but I will miss her so much. She is my sister and my friend and I love her dearly. And she loves us, all of us, but especially you and Al and the fur babies, so much that it has formed a bond that will never be broken. I hope you can feel that bond of love rise around you to hold and support you, for we are there, as she wished us to be. Even the tears, and mine as still falling like rain, are drops of love from the hearts she touched so deeply.

Blessings,

Jenoka (MoonChyld)

Dear Richard,

I want to extend to you and your family my deepest condolences on the loss of Claudia.

It saddened me to read this on Wednesday when I logged on and ready my wwaus mail for the day.

Although I had only known Claudia online she was such a beautiful soul and became a dear friend to me.

I will miss her immensely - although I now she is no longer in pain and no longer suffering - it still does not make the pain any easier.

Richard, as you know Claudia was a treasured friend to all of us a wwaus, someone special to all of us.

I know she will continue with her spirit to look down on each one of us and will continue to make sure we are ok.

Richard, you, Al and your family will be in my prayers and thoughts.

Take care.

Love Kellie Proud Member of WWAUS Australia

I didn't know Claudia long or even that well, but in the short time I did know her I grew to love her. I heard her voice on the phone when she and my Mom (Peaches) talked. She gave me some great advice and big laughs. She had nothing but wonderful things to say about you, so I know she loved you a lot. My heart goes out to you and everyone that was blessed enough to know her. May God watch over you and comfort you in this sad time.

Sympathy & love, Livia

On behalf of my husband Drew and I, I wish to express our deepest condolences to you, Al and your family. Claudia was one of a kind for sure. I know that she will continue to watch over you. You will feel her love around you. She will live on forever in our hearts. Sincerely and with love Rita and Drew (Proud member of WWAUS and owners of Journey of the Planets and the Fool)

Dear Richard,

I am so very saddened by the passing of your beautiful Claudia, and wanted you to know that I am praying for you and your family.

I have been a Miskers Den member for 5 years and met Claudia and you through that, although I have not been active much over the past couple of years. But just last weekend I got the chance to chat with Claudia for a bit and now I will cherish that forever.

You and she were such soul mates, and you loved each other so very much, it was obvious always that you two were a match made in heaven. I know that you must be hurting deeply right now, and I simply don't have the words to stop that, but please know that my heart and my prayers are there with you. Bless your heart Richard, I am so very sorry. Love and gentle hugs, IrishEyes

Dear Richard I'm so sorry to hear about Claudia. Your dedication page for her is Beautiful. My thoughts & prayers are with you.
