Offering my condolences to the Clark family during this difficult time. May you remember with fondness the many memories shared with family and friends. May you look to our Heavenly Father for comfort. Romans 15:13 "May the God who gives hope fill you with all joy and peace by your believing, that you may abound in hope with power of holy spirit."
