Too Janice and family. I am sorry for the loss of your loved one. It is with honor to have known Claude. My daughter and I have rode on different buses too our destination and Claude would be the driver. He would have a joke or two with her but would always encourage to study hard and that she did. Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal. Brenda Boyd
