Dear Faye and family,
Russ and I give our deepest sympathy to you and your family. Clark will be missed very much. May God bring comfort and strength to you and your family in the loss of a dear husband and father.
I wish to share this beloved hymn with you to bring you comfort and hope:
Some Golden Daybreak
Oh, what a meeting , there in the skies, No tears nor crying shall dim our eyes; Loved ones united eternally, Oh, what a day-break that morn will be. Some golden day-break Jesus will come; Some golden day-break, battles all won, He'll shout the victory, break thro' the blue, Some golden day-break;, for Clark,and for you.
Love, Russ and Margie

I am so sorry to hear of your loss Faye and Robin. Clark will always own a special place in my heart. As a kid I can't remember a kinder more gental person. He always treated me with respect and kindness regardless of how much of a P.I.T.A, I might have been as the neighbor kid. He was a wonderful man that I will always remember.
