Author: Claudette Marie MuhammadUndra. E. Biggs 
 
I have been acquainted with Sister Claudette Marie Muhammad for a little over 20 years and she has worked with and for me for approximately 20 years. When you work closely with a person for many days, months and years under varied circumstances you begin to think that you know the person and you may think that you know the person quite well, but how many of us really know the persons that we take close to us or persons with whom we work? How many of us really get to know the persons with whom we interact on a daily basis? When Sister Claudette wrote this book, “Memories” and shared her life with me through this book, I realized how much I did not know about the person who has been working so closely with me for these many years. I have always respected Sister Claudette, her talents, her abilities and her zeal in getting a job done, but to know what makes a person who they are and what they are, you have to become acquainted with the things of their life that maybe you never speak of that helped to shape that person to be the person whom you ultimately meet.
