such a terrible loss, my heart goes out to the family. I just can't believe it :crybaby:
I just received a Pourpre Part Time from the UPS Santa today, and was eager to come here to share that I'd finally snagged one of my Holy Grail Bal bags, hoping to see a fun post from CeeJay and get caught up on the Forum doings. I, too, just can't believe this is real. It's truly heartbreaking.
 
So very sad. We all loved and respected her; what a good person Claudia was! And she really knew her Balenciagas. Kept up with her on facebook and we had plans to meet in California or Mississippi one day. Not meant to be, but she is surely missed. Think of her every time I wear one of my Balenciagas or any gold jewelry. She had such a flair. And she was an artist who wore and made the most beautiful Jewelry. Just devastated.
 
I have a red bowler Bal which I call CeeJay Bal because she helped me navigate through reds in June. Her passing made a very strong change in my life to be honest. I listed a lot of my stuff to sell because I wanted to step out and start living better but not because of my bags and SLGs and “stuff”, but start seing the world and prople again after these three years if teaching from home and isolation. I changed a lot since I read the news , after she told me all about her dream job and dream California, and within a month all gone. This happened in a very similar way with my mom 8 years ago, and I still have no idea how to deal with it.

I will keep the red CeeJay Bal to honour and remember her.

I also think that Balenciaga people should know that there was a Bal queen who could tell you color and shade and leather quality by year and send a comparison pic of any color through years.
 
I'm just shocked to read this and so sad to hear of her passing. CeeJay was an original fan whose love and expertise especially in the Bal forum was so helpful and relied upon. I loved popping in and seeing what the original bal girls were up to - in fact we were still chatting about bags as of last month. Rest well C.

It is a shock when someone relatively young like this goes unexpectedly. Makes me a bit sad too that while everyone is talking about her how, as time passes, that will change. Agree, she was very helpful and will be missed.
 
My heart is broken today. Haven’t been on PF for awhile, (avoiding temptation.) Saw some Bal goodies on a few sites and thought ‘wonder what Ceejay thinks about these?’

Ceejay was warm, funny, smart, friendly and helpful to everyone here, whether an OG or a newbie. I keep glancing over at the City on my dresser. I know she was an enabling contributor to it’s purchase, as well as a couple more. Her memory will live on in my thoughts whenever I wear them.

Now I’m off to go offer up a toast to a wonderful lady.

I wish there was a plain heart emoji for "loving" this post. The smiling face with two hearts for eyes doesn't seem appropriate. :heart: Life is so fragile.
 
My deepest condolences to her family, can't believe this is what I read when I signed in after a long time. I remember enjoying reading her comments/ insights/ input in the Balenciaga thread when I first signed up Purse forum. We are IG friends too. Really saddened by the news. May she rest in peace.
