THE FOURTH ANNIVERSARY OF CLAUDIA'S PASSING.

CLAUDIA HAS BEEN GONE FOUR YEARS COME SEPTEMBER 1st.

I find myself becoming antsy as September 1st comes racing towards me. I'm still missing her after all this time.
Claudia was beautiful, artistic, playful, generous, loving, and a balm for helping me cope with my PTSD. She was also a marvelous cook.

She was the strongest woman I have ever known, why? because she survived the worst that Polio could do to her, then went on to earn a degree in teaching from Mankato State University. We were together for 40 years, and we had one daughter at great risk to Claudia.

It was my honor to be her husband. While she was short in stature she was tall in life. Our life together was full of challenges but we always found a way to meet and defeat those challenges.

Claudia became the victim of Post Polio Syndrome, wherein, the disease returns and there is no cure, it is a wasting disease and in the end claimed Claudia.

I believe Claudia is now with God as a whole and healthy person able to dance and play as she could not do towards the end. May you rest in peace and God Bless.

I still love and miss you Claudia. Thank you for the love and life you gave to me, to our daughter, to our family, and to our friends.

AMEN.

Love Vic.

A Sad Anniversary.

Upcoming, a sad Anniversary.

On September 1st, it will be the second anniversary of the loss of my darling Claudia. Don't get me wrong, I really, really miss Claudia, but I am happy she isn't in pain any more. I picture her by the side of Jesus as she sings and dances, no longer crippled by polio and pain. I believe she watches over me, her daughter, and her grandchildren, giving her blessings as she watches us live and grow.

Claudia left a wonderful legacy of family and friends. She gave unstintingly of her strength and her love. She taught me love, laughter, and enjoying life was the way it should be. I am a better person for having her as my wife, my lover, and my friend.

I pray for her happiness on this the second anniversary of her passing from this plane.

Amen.
