    Claudette was a sweet cousin to Don and me. Our parents lived in Harvey, Illinois and attended Calvary Temple Assembly of God Church. She and Don played together since they were close in age. She loved having her hair fixed and her nails manicured and painted and wearing 10 bracelets. I loved her and miss her. Ernie and Jude Newsom Truelove, Winnfield, La.

    My dear Aunt Claudette. Although we lost touch with each other through the last few years, I will never forget her as an essential person in my youth. Our family visits to their home in Ely Minnesota are cherished memories. I know she is at rest with her Savior.
    God Bless

    Claudette and I were friends for many years. My comment above was meant to a different address. I will miss her greatly.

    Fondly remember her as part of a trio at church with Naomi and Louise. And those boys! Quite the lively bunch. Lovely memories!

    When we moved to Ely in 1974 Claudette and Nick welcomed us with open arms at church. Claudette hosted a bridal shower for us . She shared the piano bench with Becky and encouraged us in Sunday school and childrens church.
    Such a sweet lady.
