I pray God will continue to strengthen you and the family I know the feeling of loosing and missing a love one, but we know that we will meet again; so let her go to rest in the arms of her savior Jesus Christ. Blessings to you always ♂️❤️Xxx
Sleep on, and take your rest;
Lay down your head upon the Saviour’s breast;
You were well loved, but Jesus loves you best;
But we remember because your soul was love itself

Claudette, I wish that I could have been there today to pay my respects to you.
Losing a friend at any age is hard but becomes even more so in your later years; so many memories and so much to reflect on since we first met so many years ago. I am still grieving for the loss of you but can honestly say that I find some comfort in those memories of our times together and know that as times goes on these memories will become even more precious.
You were truly a remarkable woman and although I know it was never up to me I think you left us too soon. I know how much your family have lost with your passing. My love and prayers are with them daily and I hope with each passing day that their grief and sadness becomes easier to bear.
Rest in peace my dear friend; missing you now and forevermore. Love Janet
Dear Claudette
I still cannot believe that you’ve gone, heaven really has gained a beautiful angel, you are beautiful inside and out and highly regarded by everyone.
You were the best manager anyone could wish for and always had the best interest of children and young people in your heart, loved our evening chats talking about a possible placement then ending up talking for over an hour about food, music and Jamaica etc.
I’m missing you so much and am devastated that you have left us.
Fly high beautiful princess with the knowledge that everyone loved you

Claudette, I just want to wish peace and strength to your children. They paid a lovely tribute to you today and you would have been proud. 58 is no age but I know this pain well as we lost our mother at the same age almost 24 years ago. The pain never goes but you learn how to cope. God bless those you have left behind and may they continue to represent your legacy to the fullest. Rest well in perfect peace.
My deepest condolences to Claudette’s family and friends. Thank you for a beautiful and heartfelt service which gave us a deeper understanding of the brilliant, real, funny, intelligent. resourceful and nurturing woman Claudette was in life. Those beautiful eyes spoke volumes, communicating her humour, thoughts and strong opinions! Claudette’s legacy lives on in her amazingly strong children and grandchildren.
Thank you Claudette for your forthright, passionate and well informed insights as our Fostering Manager. It’s hard to believe we won’t be in your presence again... you’ll be greatly missed.
Rest In Power and take your Throne Queen.

Our paths did not cross for several years, after were work colleagues in lambeth, however, we met two years ago and it was good to meet after so many years.
You have had such a positive influence on so many throughout the years.
May you rest in everlasting peace.

What a beautiful service for a beautiful lady, you did her proud. The readings were exceptional and I could see Claudette pulling her faces and rolling her eyes. Claudette was a very special person who obviously touched so many peoples lives. Although I wasn't in her life everyday I knew that I could just pick up the phone and she would always be there. She was one of those friends who doesn't matter when we last spoke we would always fall back into conversation like it was yesterday when we last did. Proud to say she was my friend. x
Rest in perfect peace Claudette.. You will be missed greatly at grandma's. Kyle will miss his boxing day duck buddy.. Grandma will miss your laying on the bed with your beautiful smile and talks.. Aunty Jenny will miss your girlie chats. May you always rest in peace and you will never be forgotten. Love always
Dear Ms Patricia,
I have only met you once, your presence was felt and has been felt by those who have known you. I have worked along your daughter and son (presently). By knowing them, you must of been a woman of strength whose eyebrow made an such impact. Sleep well.

Claudette you were such a huge part of our Southwark family and having worked alongside you for many years I hugely valued your warmth passion humour and honesty. You are missed beyond measure x
Claudette I will miss your direct advice and feedback. Your knowledge and experience always made joint working with you positive and informative. It's now your time to rest and I want to thank God for blessing us with you.
You were clearly a very special mother and such an important part of your family. You are going to missed so much by them all but you leave behind so many special memories for them. Rest in peace.
Dearest Pat,
It’s with the deepest sadness that I write this heartfelt tribute.
I’ve known Yvonne for over 25 years now and the first time I met you was in 1998 when Yvonne had a birthday party. You opened the door with a smile and kept that smile every time I met you (You always felt present in the moment whenever I spoke to you).
I remember over the years, when I did see you, you were always nice to me and showed an interest in how I was getting on, albeit, that the conversations were brief.
What I do hold close to my heart is that in one of the darkest periods in my life, you invited me to your home and advised me on how I could deal with the trauma that was unfolding in front of me.Your advice produced life changing positive outcomes and continue to make a huge change in our lives. For that I am / will always hold you close to my heart.
You have done such an amazing job as a parent / grandparent and that can be clearly scene by how your children carry themselves / contribute to the community in such a positive way.
You will be dearly missed by everyone who came into contact with you. Rest in eternal peace.
Love always,
Peter Young & Family

Claudette, you are now resting with your heavenly father. May you have eternal rest. You will be missed by all. The good Lord will console your children, mum, family and friends.
There are two times in my life where you made an impact and I never got to thank you.
The first was when you took me in and allowed me to be part of your family. You didn’t have to, but you did anyway. Thank you
The second was when I became a mother myself and you offered me wisdom, ideas and support. You didn’t have to but you did. Thank you.
It is sad that we don’t realise I persons influence until they are gone.

Please accept our condolences for the loss of your mother. I didn’t have the honor to know mum, but I can tell she was an incredible lady. I’m so saddened to know the hardship your family is going through and I want to offer our condolences and support.

To My Beautiful Aunty Pat,
I wanted to take the time to thank you for the many things that you have contributed to our family. I am most thankful for the love and care you have given to me.
I want to honour the fact that you are and will always be a PHENOMENAL WOMAN!
Thank you for all the things you’ve allowed me to be apart of, and given me countless amounts of inspiration, which has led me down different paths.
I am happy that I’ve had a chance to experience you in my lifetime, and even though you are no longer with us in the flesh I know you will continuously guide us in sprit.
Aunty Pat, if I can amount and do even a fraction of the things you’ve managed to do in your life, I know that I will be a successful woman!
Thank you for the countless holidays, sleepovers (my second home), advice, jokes, talks, lessons and most of all thank you for being YOU!
I will continue to grow and be the woman that you will continue to be proud of.
I will always honour and keep family values close to my heart as I know this is something you were passionate about.
I’ll always be your little “Mince-Meat” as you called me. Thank you for also giving my precious daughter the nickname of “Ginja/Ginger”. I will never let her forget and ensure she will always remember.
Love you sooo much x

Hi Pat,
It saddens me to know you are no longer here with us, I could remember in the beginning when I first met you, you took me in like your own son, even at Christmas times when you dished my plate than I looked at Leroy’s plate and it was the same as mine, I then said to myself yes I’m in the family. Because of you my spelling has gotten better because everyone joked about my spelling during Christmas games (Spelling Bee), I remember all the great holidays we had, Jamaica, St Lucia, Barbados, Turkey and many more. Lets not forget the trip to Blackpool with the dodgy people carrier that kept over heating.
We had some great times the memories are endless, you will be greatly missed. You was a role model to many, and as I have had the pleasure of knowing the family for over 20 years I know that they will be strong and cuddle together to over come these sad times and stay strong for the future.
As the father of your grandsons I will do my best to support them in these times and through out there lives.
Rest in Peace
Lots of love and memories

Dearest Pat, Words cannot express the shock and hurt I felt when I heard that you passed away. I can remember the great memories when we was all going to church together. I remember the times when you Paulette, Esmeline & I used to sneaked out of our house at weekends to go parties in Brixton. We used to have the best times together. The places we use to go in Brixton was unbelievable. We just used to walk down Railton Road and listen where the music was coming from, there was always a dance in those days. Our parents was very strict but that didn’t phase us we still found a way of having fun. Some times it would be on a Friday & Saturday nights . We didn’t care that we had to wake up in time for church the next day...I can also remember we going to church on Sunday morning trying to keep our eyes opened & nodding off in service. Thank you Pat for being apart of my life. I can hear your laughters and your big smiles. Your memories will always be with me. You will be greatly missed by all. Rest in Peace Pat ❤️❤️❤️
I’m still in shock you have passed..It hasn’t kicked in yet.. not sure if It ever will .
Please know that our loving thoughts embrace you each and every day.
You may not physically be here but your presence still remains..everything you believed in,accomplisments, family❤️ the list is truly endless and that speaks volume ,on how phenomenal you were as a person. I will forever hold our last conversation dearly to my heart❤️.
It brings me so much comfort❤️.

Just wanted to let the family know that Claudette's colleagues are thinking of you all today. We had a gathering yesterday to remember her - about twenty of her colleagues from the fostering service. It was strange as I think no-one could really say her name yet - it still feels so sad and raw. I don't think Claudette would have wanted that and I know she is in a beautiful place. I hope that you have all been able to continue to feel deep joy in life, despite the grief and sadness of losing her. I know that your happiness would have been her dearest wish. And lots of disco dancing!
Pat my little sister
Pat, you were 3 years old when I first met you, my little sister. A cute, pretty, sweet little ball of fun. I had the joy of taking you and Marcia to nursery in the mornings holding you with one hand and Marcia with the other, keeping my 2 little sisters safe but I better pray that it did not rain the night before, because in true Pat's style you would drag me to any little or big puddle that you could see and you would jump in. You enjoyed a splash. I watched you grow up from that little girl to become an adult. Mother of my fantastic nieces and nephews, grand mother, and "auntie Pat" to all of your siblings children. We have shared so much fun, so much laughs and so much love, along the way. 55 years we spent together Pat and with so many stories to tell of our lives together growing up, I could write a best selling novel. As siblings we all talked with our eyes, shoulders and feet and we will continue to do that for you. I know that you will be the secret listener at our conversations and when we laugh, you will laugh too clapping your hands as you laugh along with us, because "those we love don't ever go away".
It seem unreal to ever think that you are not here. I wanted to keep you here but you are needed in heaven. I miss you and my cheeks are wet as I write but each tear is a prayer and my grief is expression of love.
One more step along the world you go little sister. You have moved from the old things to the new and one day we will meet again. Until then sleep well and rest well Pat.
Love you Pat.

Our private jokes
Dearest Claudette,
There are so many 'misses' that will no doubt make my eyes leak. We have shared many a funny joke, I am going to miss that. I will miss your no nonsense but caring approach. You was so talented and will be a great loss to everyone you touched.
I am so sorry you did not beat the 'trussed up Turkey' and that we did not have another chance to speak.
Just had a chuckle that instead of resting you would be organising! God bless you my lovely.
