I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Claude. He & Annette were wonderful people. Always there to lend a helping hand when needed. I grew up at Bethel Baptist Church with them and loved hearing them sing. They sang at my Mother & Fathers funerals. They are in Heaven singing with the Angels. My thoughts & prayers are with each of you.
My prayers are with the family for strength during this difficult time.
I am blessed to have been able to be a caregiver for both Poppa Claude and Momma Annette. They are very special to me as is their family. Love always

Claude – very active and faithful man of God to the Lord and his church. I knew him from my early childhood years onward from my attending church with my grandparents at Bethel and Unity. He was well loved.
Extending my deepest sympathy – Claude and I were first cousins (our mothers were sisters), so we knew each other all of our lives.
My prayers are with the entire family at this difficult time.

Such wonderful memories we have of Mr. Claude from his time at Unity Baptist and the Tuesday night singing class that rotated between Unity, Turner Hill, Macedonia, and Pleasant Hill Baptist Churches of which we are members. We know he loved music and singing and we so appreciate his example and influence in our lives from those times. You all are in our thoughts and prayers.
Merryvale Assisted Living sends our love and condolences to the family of Mr. Claude. He will be missed at Merryvale.
He and Annette were a big part of our life for a long time and were greatly loved by all. We will be thinking and praying for the family in the days ahead.
Love from your friends at Merryvale.
I was so blessed to have known both your mom and dad. I know there is sadness at Claude’s passing and I pray for God to comfort all who feel emptiness as his life on earth has come to an end. Our hope is firm in that Claude is with his Lord and Savior and he and Ms. Annette are hand in hand already waiting for the rest of us to one day join them in Glory. Peace and grace be with all the family and friends and know we are all better persons because of time spent with this giant of a man! God bless.
Russ, Joy and Ginger,
What a wonderful example your parents exemplified in loving and serving the Lord throughout their life. May you feel Gods sweet peace and comfort in your Dads passing, knowing he is at rest with Jesus!
My brother Billy and I always thought of Claude and Annette as such sweet and loving people. We will miss Claude as we also continue to miss Annette. They were a blessing to us folks at Bethel Baptist Church so many years ago. Deepest sympathy to the family and especially Rusty, Ginger and Joy.
We are so saddened to learn of Claude’s passing. He was such a sweet man, he never forgot our birthdays, Easter or Christmas to send a card. He was a wonderful Sunday School teacher. He and Annette are together again, forever. God blessed us to have known them both
I will always have fond memories of Claude and Annette. As I grew up in Bethel Church many members made everlasting impressions on me. They were always so kind, loving and always making everyone welcome. What a great legacy to leave for your children. Rest In Peace.
