    So sorry for all the family in the loss of Mrs. Claudia. To the children, your mom was very much a part of my life growing up. She and Mr. Rudolph have left a positive impression on my life. Their kindness was so appreciated. I am blessed to have known both of them.

    Miss Claudie’s family, I was Blessed to have grown up with you and to have memories to cherish of us on the hill, up behind the store! A piece of my heart is broken off also. I Pray each if you know leaning on the Lord and others during this time will help. I learned the hurt and loss is so deep because the Love was deep. Continue to honor her with that Love in your daily lives . I will honor her with every cake/icing bowl or beater I lick!! Much Love . ‘That little Renee’
