My beautiful sister Claudia, how I miss you. I love you so much and can't believe that you're gone, but I know that you are finally resting in peace and you are no longer suffering, no longer living in pain. We were so close and for 19 weeks every year we were the same age. You were my very first friend, my best friend, my ride or die, my partner in crime. You always referred us as Irish twins. We used to be together all the time. we shared the same friends. We would often dress alike, or at least have the same colors on. You were my protector, my safe haven. I always admired how you had a way with words, I used to tell you that you could be a writer. You were always so loving and so giving, you would rather go without, than to let someone else go without.
You have always had such a big and loving heart my dear sister and such strength. You endured so much over the years, so many surgeries and sickness, so may times in the hospital and I knew you were growing tired of it all, but you wanted to hold on until your last grandchild was born and you did. Claudia, my dear sister, you were the strongest person I knew and I will always love you and remember all the special memories we shared together.
Give Mom and Dad a hug and kiss for me and tell them how much I miss them. Michelle and I will watch over Delton and your Sons and grandchildren who meant the world to you!
I love you my Yaya,
your sister, Susan
