Claudia was known for her infectious smile, and love of her family. She lived for her children and was always supportive of everything they pursued. Claudia was a mother to all and gave unconditionally. She enjoyed cook-outs with family, cuddling with her kids, and cooking Mexican cuisine. She had a sweet tooth that could make you go rotten. Claudia loved to sing, dance, and watch movies with her children. Her energy was contagious and she turned any negative situation into something positive. She was bright and quick witted, always ready with a smart remark. Claudia’s laugh filled the room. She was wild and free, always expressing herself at any given moment. Her bravery and strength made her a protector to all. She always fought for what she believed in and was a fighter until the very end.
