Guest Book

I so clearly remember Claudia when she was a student at FAMU, taking classes, running track, and traveling around the Big Bend singing with her sisters. Claudia was a blessing to me, and I am so sad to hear that she has left this life. My condolences to her family. Steve Taylor

One of the most joyful and pleasant quartet singers in the world. Claudia always wore a wonderful smile and cared a warm Spirit. I thoroughly enjoyed her singing gift for she always gave it her best everytime she was on floor, for she knew how to hold the bottom with tremendous grace. Thank you Claudia for your encouraging words as I pursued Seven Doves Songwriting & Promoting. You are greatly missed but I know Heaven has gained one of baddest baritone singers ever imagined. Show the other baritones how to make it better. Kelvin

I have so many great memories of my sister but the one I love the most was when momma gave birth to me and named me Angelia. She told Cal how to say my name but Cal who was almost 2 at the time could not pronounce my name so instead she called me Dea. No matter how old I got she never called me Angelia it was always Dea. She even had some of her friends call me that but of course nobody new what she was saying so they called me everything but Dea. That was her nickname for me and she was the only one that could pronounce it. Sleep peacefully Cal you will truly be missed. I love you ❤️❤️❤️
