To;Tyrone, Marvin Jr., Eric & Clarke family,
What a beautiful woman, I know she will be greatly missed. Mrs. Clarke (as I often referred to her since my teenage years) embodied kindness, love, patience..all the fruits of the spirit in her association with others.
"Her children rise and call her blessed" I pray God will give you all the strength and courage you need to proceed after such departure of love. "Wait on the Lord:be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart." Psalm 27:14
