To a lovely, lovely lady - Claudette, you will be greatly missed. You were like a member of our family when you came to visit with Ross, and it was always great to see you at the different family get-togethers. You were one of my favourite email "buddies", and I have missed them so much, as we know all of your family and friends will miss you now. Rest in peace, and may God give your family comfort. Our prayers are with all of you. Don & Charlene

So sorry to read that Claudette has passed away. Growing up in old south London as a close friend of eldest son Dave during the 1960s and 1970s, Claudette was always an engaging, down-to-earth, strong and humorous person to be around. Sincere condolences to Ross, Dave, Dan, Diane, Dale and the entire extended family. My own Mother, Darlene, passed away on April 26, 2011 at age 78. I know how difficult it is to lose one's Mother. Claudette will always be fondly remembered by everyone who knew her. A truly wonderful woman and Mother.
