I will definitely miss Claudia. Claudia was very funny. She never had a harsh word to say about anyone. Claudia was a great person & will be missed dearly
I had the pleasure of working with Claudia for many years. She was kind and loving and a classy lady. Everyone adored her
When ever we would greet each other it would always be “ Hello Beautiful she would say it to me. I would say to her I don’t know what she was thinking ,When it came to me. But Let me tell you she was a beautiful person Inside and out !Never heard a complaint from her always a smile on her face . She was very proud of her family And it showed in the way she carried herself.. If we could all just be more like Claudia, it will be a better world! You will be missed “Beautiful” especially the way you showed your love for everyone. God bless you and may he hold you in the palm of his hand ., Love always, Joe Lutz
When your loss is new as your is now, heavy is our heart burned is our brow; take comfort though as your loved one thrives, in God’s pure love so radiant and alive. May His divine spirit guide and keep you, now and in the days ahead.

My deepest condolences to Sauer and Strawderman families ! R.I.P., Claudia and you were such a nice person with a beautiful smile.
I have been dreading this, in complete shock and don’t know what to say or where to begin! I was just talking to u a few weeks ago and we were trying to plan to get together! Usually Irish Weekend but you couldn’t make it down! So so so so many memories! First of all, I love you all very much and I am just so sorry, I’m thinking of you all and praying that somehow you can all get through this! I loved your mom very much, every time we talked all we did was laugh! To many memories, I would be writing forever! It just doesn’t seem real! Art…. I’m so sorry, I love you and am praying for you! I am always here even if you just want to talk! I am truly at a loss for words!
I don’t often write for these things, but if I could,…..Claudia was a very influential and welcoming ‘Mom’ to many, many friends of her kids….. no judgement…. You were welcomed into her home…. I cherish the memories of, by happenstance, bumping into Claudia, and her kids, when they’re adults (now) and thinking “Claudia, thank you for being such a welcoming ‘Mom’ to many of us. This kid from Hegerman Street loves and will remember all of those hugs that you greeted us with. Rest in peace! Love, ‘Schmedly’.
Love you always Mom 🥰💗🤗😘
I am so sorry!!! Sending many prayers!!!!! I hope you all find the strength to get through this! Keep the happy memories close to your heart!!♥️
I am so sorry for your loss my condolences to you from my family to yours. We send our deepest sympathy to you and your love ones. I pray you find strength and comfort during these times of sadness.
My condolences to the family. I remember going to school with Bridget and going over her house and your mom always welcomed and treated me like family. Some of the best memories I have as a child.
