I hope I can finish writing this, because my heart has been broken in a million pieces! My Claudia has passed away this afternoon at Robinson Memorial Hospital at I:00 P.M. I was holding her hand, as her tortured life, left her body. For those of you that don't know, Claudia had Multiple Sclerosis, and she fought it with all the strength she had, till her poor body had no more, and she could no longer withstand the rigors of this terrible disease! She never complained, and kept her humor and fighting spirit till the very end! A true heroine! For those of you who knew and loved Claudia, I hope to post the funeral arangements as soon as they are finalized. I thank all of you who would talk to her and show her kindness, at the steel jams, and gigs around the area. Tearfully yours, -Jake-

So very sorry for your loss Jake. I know your heart is broken and you're feeling an emptyness that is like no other. Take comfort in knowing her pain is gone and that you have been the most faithful husband and care giver you could be. Your love for her is an inspiration to all who know you. I've known you and Claudia since 1996 and can count on one hand the times I've seen you without her.
God bless you for your unending love and grant you comfort in your hour of need.
Love ya Bro..........................Rick

Jake,

I'm so sorry to hear of this!! You certainly were the most caring husband, anyone could ever ask for!! You stood by Claudia, till the very end...never giving up.
You set a perfect example, of what a husband should be!

I know you Loved Claudia, more than anything. I know you're going through pain, like never before. Try to have some condolence, that she is not suffering any longer. She is in a better place now...& you will see her again.

I will call you this week. Feel free to call me, anytime. Day or night.
Both Donna & I, consider you to be our very good friend.

Donna, sends her condolences...as well.

Hang in there, friend. We Love you, Jake!

Sincerely,

Your friends...

Dave & Donna Rupert
