So sorry to hear about Claudia, I was school friend to Linda and hung out at their home many a time and remember Claudia. She was so sweet. My prayers are with you all❤️

I worked with Claudia , when I was a school psychologist at Adams Middle School. Claudia was wonderful to work with . She had such a bright personality! She will be missed.

So sad to hear about Claudia's passing. We used to hang out in school together. Wish I would of stayed connected. We did connect again about a year ago. We would always end up at the party store on the corner of Telegraph and Outer Dr. I send my sympathy to her family. 

I've known Claudia for about 33 years,  Seeing her always put a smile on your face.  She could light you up with her smile.  She was always so sweet, and loved her family and Grandchildren very much.   Always the topic of conversation.

My heart is heavy for the family, I know she will be truly missed.

Mrs. Turnquist  was my middle school counselor for 3 years.  As a kid I had a lot of problems with bullies and didn’t have a lot of friends.  I had a hard time relating to kids my own age.  Every week without fail this beautiful woman would bring me into her office and we would sit and have lunch together, sometimes multiple times a week. I can’t even begin to tell you all the effect this had on me.  I went back and visited her several times in the years to follow. She always greeted me with a smile and a hug.  Without this kind soul I don't know who I’d be today. I’m grateful to have had her while I did and am sorry for the loss I know all who loved her are feeling.  Rest easy 

Mike,

Sending you and your family thoughts of peace and comfort during this time of loss.

My family had her as a counselor for years, she was always kind and would do anything to help us in any way she could. 

My family and I were blessed to have Mrs. Turnquist by our side as my mother passed in 2010. She made sure the staff understood our situation and made sure our family had as much time and assistance we needed. I am extremely greatful she is in such good hands with us here at Harry J Will and I intend on making her family as comfortable and as welcome as I can during this rough time, this is the least I can do to repay her efforts. I'll continue to remember you forever Mrs. T, I'm happy you are in no more pain. Say hi to Mom for me if you run into her 💕

Such a loss may she rest in peace. Beautiful lady inside and out. She helped me so verymuch with my children. Kleann and LaCrisha. Prayers for strength and peace to her family. A shinning light of hope to so many children. You will be missed.

Mrs. Turnquist was truly one of the most kind and caring people I have ever been lucky enough to meet. She was far more than a middle school guidance counselor to me & has always kept in touch, although I finished middle school 11 years ago. She will always hold a special place in my heart. I love you Mrs. Turnquist, thank you for always being there for me and my family. 

I worked with Claudia at Adams Middle School where she was a beloved counselor. She was so kind and patient with our students, their families and staff. She was always available for our students  and I will always be grateful for her friendship. She also loved Bon Jovi just like my wife and they loved talking about him. Edge you and your family remain in my thoughts and prayers. 

Claudia was a sweet, kind and joyful person.  We have been blessed by Claudia and I am thankful for God sharing her with us. She is at peace now resting comfortably in the hands of God.  May Ed and his entire family be comforted by their fond memories of Claudia.  

I am so saddened by this. She helped me with so much throughout middle school. You were such a sweet soul, and you will always be in my memory! Rest well sweet lady❤️💔

I am so saddened to hear this news. Claudia was TRULY one of the sweetest, most genuinely good- hearted women I’ve had the pleasure of knowing. I worked with her for a short time at Stevenson Middle school where she worked as a counselor. Her impact on her students and coworkers is immeasurable. My condolences to her family. She was always so proud and happy to talk about them.

So very sorry for your loss.  May happy memories comfort you now.   Thinking of all of you.

Ed and family, so sorry for your loss.  Prayers for all of you for peace. God bless.  Sue swenson cavinaw
