Although the clocks kept ticking, our lives stood still on December 3rd when we lost your smile.
An angel called your name, took you by the hand, your place was ready and Heaven gained a beautiful soul.
We walked together on the path of life for a good long time.
Your first little white car called Fuzz.
Driving to SUNY Fredonia for Kurt and Cathleen’s house party, drinking and singing to “Roll with the Changes” what fun we had.
Many double dates, some good, some not so good.
Saturday nights going to Uncle Sam’s night club with your brother Pat.
The world was at our feet, turning heads and thinking we were all that, dancing to Rick James and the Human League all night. Great times.
Fast forward 15 years to our wedding with Tom’s friends saying “who’s that girl, so fun and so pretty !?”
You always gave more in life than you took, a modest, kindhearted soul.
Although I cannot see you, I know you are with me.
“Go rest high on that mountain, for your work on earth is done. Go to Heaven singing and shouting, look for the Father and the Son”
Rest peacefully sweet girl. I will talk to you in my dreams and I will cherish the starfish.

I worked very closely with Claudia for several years when she still lived in the Buffalo area. Always dependable with a fun loving spirit and smile I will never forget. My condolences.

I am so very sorry to hear this news and so sorry for her loss. Claudia was 2 years ahead of me in high school and we bonded participating in the musical. She was so pretty and fun and popular and she took me under her wing in the nicest way. I looked up to her then and I enjoyed being her friend on Facebook these past few years. Her beauty and her light never faded! May God grant you comfort and peace during this painful time. Rest in peace Claudia.

I am saddened to hear of the loss of one of the most beautiful people I ever met.
Nothing seemed to adversely affect her kind demeanor and her infectious smile. Not even the loss of her apartment to fire. She showed up to work that day with a smile on her radiant face.
May she rest in peace.

It was such a pleasure working with Claudia the last 10 years and more importantly having her as a friend. She was a kind spirited woman who always had a positive outlook on everything. She will be sadly missed by us and her work family. Our thoughts and prayers go out Brian and her entire family.

Claudia wrote in both 1983 and 2024: “Even though time and distance have separated us, the Love and Loyalty I feel for you will never die!” I feel she expressed that to everyone: family and friends. Claudia, the memories, and her starfish will be cherished forever. An exceptional, joyous soul. Condolences and Love to Brian and family! Peace.

Dear Brian and the Cruciger and Creenan families,
My thoughts and prayers are with you all during the home going of Claudia. We grew up together in Hamburg and were fast and furious friends. From ice-skating to bike rides to sleepovers, we shared many adventures. She was always so happy and shared her love freely with all around her. It is with great sorrow to hear about your loss and I pray that God will comfort you and fill your hearts and minds with wonderful memories during this time.

Dearest Brian and all of Claudia’s family. To say our hearts are broken isn’t enough. Working side by side with Claudia these last ten years have truly been wonderful and the pleasure all mine. Always dependable and her work impeccable. Her passion for being the best will make her irreplaceable. Claudia was truly a gracious and giving soul always thinking about others. Her beautiful smile and her quick wit would always make me laugh at the most unexpected time. I am blessed to have known her and will remember her always. May you all find comfort in your wonderful memories during this difficult time and God bless you all.
