Dear Loved ones of Doris Clark, wife of Don Clark. I only found this side of my maternal family about 4 years ago. I got to meet Cousin Don at our annual HomeComing Serivce in E.U.B. church, the first Sunday of every October in Logan Mills, PA, One time Cousins Doris and Don visited my home for an afternoon if sharing and catching up with my Mother and Aunt Madeline. Aunt Madeline was a frequent visitor in your parents home. We all had happy memories. I am so thankful that I got to meet both of your parents, my maternal Cousins. These are the 4th of my maternal family that have passed on in the short time since we found them. God bless you at this difficult time, with His grace and strength.

Donna, I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your mom and so soon after your dad. They both were good people and I am glad that I got to know them when we all lived on morningside dr. May God bless you and Joe during this rough time, I have thought about you both and your family through the years since I left Elmira. I will never forget you and Joe and the friendships that I have had with both of you through the years.

I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. In these difficult times remember to believe that the pain and suffering has left, and that her memories will be forever in your/our hearts. She loved you all so very much, and wanted only the best for all of you. I had many conversations with your mother. She was an absolutely wonderful woman, whom I shall miss deeply. I am here if you need me! Her love was so very strong for all of you always!
May the Great Spirit comfort you and surround you in his light. Walk lightly my friends, ~Naomi~
