I only heard about your loss last night at the library board meeting, and I am so very sorry. Claudia was a wonderful person, I always enjoyed it when she came into the library. She would come in with a bag full of books and would leave with another bag full of books! We would chat about what she had read and she always laughed when I was checking out her books saying, "I hope I haven't read that one already"!
Again, I am so very sorry.
