Dear Claudette,

Rest In Eternal Sleep. Definitely gone to soon.
You were so passionate about your work with children, it really shone through when we spoke. You will be missed.

Sincere Condolences to your family.

From Wendy and Charles McLeod

April 22, 2021

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

April 22, 2021

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

April 22, 2021

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.

April 22, 2021

May her departed soul rest in peace.

April 22, 2021

Today you will be laid to rest. As the saying goes, God only takes the best. The thought of never seeing you again brings tears to my eyes. You brightened up the darkest day and even the greyest sky.

Although you're away physically, you will always be in our hearts. Rest in perfect peace.

April 22, 2021

Auntie Claudette,

I have heard so many great things about you and I am inspired by your Legacy. The impact you have made in this world will never be forgotten. You are now guardian Angel and I pray that you rest in perfect peace ❤️

April 22, 2021

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

April 22, 2021

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.

April 22, 2021

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.

April 21, 2021

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

April 21, 2021

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.

April 21, 2021

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.

April 21, 2021

Yvonne,
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.

Rosemary and family

April 21, 2021

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

Rest in Everlasting Peace xxx

April 21, 2021

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

April 21, 2021

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 ❤️❤️❤️

April 21, 2021

Pat this has not been easy to say these few words, I will always remember you.

We was all very young but I remember when you ask me to be Godmother to your first born (Yvonne).

We had so much fun growing up with you and your siblings, going to church was good, but sneaking out at night going party’s that was also good, the best part of the party memories was when you and your sisters came back home from the party, when you was going to climb back through the window, your mother was sleeping on your bed waiting for you!

I only have good memories of you we never have a dull moment, when we should be serious when having conversation with each other, sometimes we would just look at each other and burst out laughing!

Those happy years will always be with me,
Rest in peace my dear beloved x

April 21, 2021

Rest In Peace Pat. You will be sorely missed.

Love from the Howes Family x

April 21, 2021

Rest in peace !
Thank you for blessing me with my bros and sisters .
Your legacy lives on .

From all the dada family .

Amen

April 21, 2021

Claudette, your smiles and encouragement we will see no more. I vividly remember your choice words of assurance that “it will be okay”. You came with a special heart of love and you shared it. Sleep on, at the feet of our Lord Jesus Christ.

April 21, 2021

I know you are resting in peace Dear friend

April 21, 2021

Thank you for always supporting me in my life, from when I was a young man finding my way to contribute to society in a positive manor, to becoming a role model, father and a husband. I will miss you asking me how I’m doing, then conveniently slipping in if I can look at your laptop for some reason or another, and with that beaming smile, you made it almost impossible to say no.

Without fail you always checked if my family were well, and how they were doing in school, work, and life in general. You was one of my biggest supporters when ever I took part in charitable work by either donating or raising awareness of my efforts.

There is so much I will miss about you Aunty Pat, but there is even more I will celebrate and be grateful for. I was able to share some great times with you, I will forever hold those amazing memories in my heart, from the family events to the amazing holidays. I promise to continue to build that strong family environment that you would of wanted me to achieve in my life.

Words can never express how thankful I am for the love, support and advice you gave me through out the years, it was always unconditional and with my best interests at heart, I promise to continue to make you proud.

This is definitely not good bye, but until next time.

Love you always Aunty Pat aka Mum

April 21, 2021

Through Yvonne, I got to know Auntie Pat. We first met at a family party and Auntie Pat welcomed me into the family as if I were a blood relative.

Being a Muslim in a Christian family there were some glaring differences but both sides just mutually respected one another. So much so, that when Auntie Pat was in hospital I sent a Muslim prayer to Yvonne and asked Auntie Pat to listen to it.

Rest well in eternal peace Auntie Pat, as your job on earth has been completed. Your legacy are caring children who are a service to society, just as you were. The tight bond that you cultivated within your family was evident to see in "9 Nights". Long may it continue.

Until we meet again......

Xx

April 21, 2021

Thank you.
It never seems powerful enough, but thank you so much for being an incredible advocate for both children and carers. You have made such an impact on so many people, and will be greatly missed.
Sending our thoughts to your family and friends. All our love, Chris and Hazel x

April 21, 2021

April 21, 2021

Claudette, I still cannot believe that you are gone! You shaped my practice as a social worker and honed my professionalism to an exacting standard. You are all about providing the best service to children, families and foster carers. You will be fondly remembered by your motto -"Not on my watch".
I appreciate you as my manager, friend and a mentor. My deepest condolences to your mother, husband, children and the extended family. May your compassionate soul rest in perfect peace amen.

April 21, 2021

Claudette, I was fortunate to meet you a handful of times through Leroy and you were always kind and welcoming.
I have been around your family many times and they are a tribute to the morals, kindness and values you have instilled into them. I know that they will carry these forward in your memory and honour.
May you rest in eternal peace.

April 21, 2021

Hi Nan,

There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t think of you. You always have been a huge part of my life, and without you now, I feel a deep hole has been left in both me and our family. You were the glue that held us together, and your memory will continue to do so.

I love you nan,
Kyerron your first and favourite grandson

Missing you as always Mum and not being able to see you will always stay heavy on my heart.

Vultures are still around even when you are gone. But don’t worry I've got you and all that you've worked for.

Dear Claudette,

I am still unable to believe that you are gone! You were such an empathic and a kind manager that was willing to help others to thrive. I really missed your humour and lovely smile that makes the tasks light and bearable. Do continue to rest on in your saviour's bosom.

Dear Claudette your presence in the office continues to be missed. I miss our chats as we went to make our hot drinks and as you held a packet of biscuits. RIEP

Her Life

Early Years

April 11, 2021

Claudette was the 4th born child of Albert and Ruby. She was the first child they had when they moved to England from Jamaica. She grew up in the church where the family built many bonds and her and her siblings spent summers with their cousins the Pennants. As a child she loved to read and she always had a keen interest in her Jamaican heritage.

The life of a Mother

April 11, 2021

Claudette had her first two children Yvonne and Leroy by the time she was 18. Years later Erron and Sunitta joined the fold and in addition to being a bonus mum to her nieces and nephews, she brought her Goddaughter Nathalee over from Jamaica and went on to adopt her youngest daughters Shanika and Shanae. As a mother she was dedicated to raising her children the right way and continued to support them in their endeavours until the time of her passing

The life of a Grandmother (Nanny)

April 11, 2021

If she was dedicated as a mother she was even more so as a Grandmother. Insisting that ‘granny or grandma’ were titles beyond her years, all her grandchildren knew her as Nanny. She was blessed to love and be loved by her grandchildren Kyerron, Shana, Joseph, Darrion, Keon, Kamiah, Kaliyah and Zariah. Present at the birth of each of her children’s ‘firsts’ Claudette ensured she helped guide her children to be the best parents they could be and continue to build a close and tightly bonded family

Pat my little sister

April 24, 2021

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.
From Peggy

Our private jokes

April 22, 2021

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.
