You've been a very wonderful friend to me and my mother for a long time now. I feel very blessed to have had you in my life. I looked forward to our brunches and dinners, and I enjoyed your stories of your growing up. I know you are with your husband, Benny, now...and although that I'm sad that you've left us, I am happy that you are joined together again. I will never forget you for as long as I live. I will miss you tremendously.
I want to thank everyone that help in this search. All of you that put the word out, especially Carol, LOL...the word spread as far as Serbia due to your ladies on the forum. Please let them know that I appreciated all of the kind words and all of the support. It is wonderful to know that there are people out there that do still care.
There is a lesson to be learned in all of this...do not ever trust the Fairfield Police department. The only thing they did to help was to put out the Silver Alert. They didn't search for Claudette at all, they didn't alert the family when they couldn't find her in her home after TRIAD (a group that calls the elderly that live on their own on a daily basis to check up on them) told them there was no answer at the house. It was up to Claudette's best friend to tell the family that she was unable to get ahold of her. Only then did the family know that Claudette was missing. Claudette was found barely 100 yards from where she was last seen, and they didn't even bother doing a standard immediate search of the area when the alert went out. They owe all of Claudette's friends and family a very PUBLIC apology for handling this so poorly!!
Claudette, you will always be in our hearts and minds. We love you very much!
