Dear Mama,
I miss you. It's hard living on Guam and being so far away from you. I'm just glad I got to see you in April and again in August with Calvin.

Mama Baba,
Due to the distance between us, our visits were few and far between but will be forever treasured. Thank you for your son, Billy, and for your love of our children, Wendy and Calvin. Your visits to Guam in 1981 for our wedding, and in 1988 when Calvin was born, are memories we will never forget. ADIOS MAMA.
Love,

Though I never met Barbara, she came alive through the many wonderfully long and entertaining letters which she wrote to me over the years. I will always cherish those and I am certain that she will be remembered by many with affection.

Dear Grandma Baba,
I will always remember and cherish the times I was able to spend with you. Whether it was playing a round of golf with you and family or tinkering with the various eccentric toys you always had for me to play with when I was a child, I always enjoyed being in your presence.
I will truly miss you.
Love,
Calvin

Dear Grandma Baba,
My fondest memory of you is your visit to Guam when I was very young. I'll never forget how much fun it was writing stories about the heroid antics of my stuffed animals (complete with illusrations). :) Ducky Lucky and I miss you--I hope you know that.
Love,
Wendy

Dear Barbara,
You were always my favorite aunt. I was first aware of your domestic side -- herding goats and chickens and geese as well as us children; boiling up the biggest pots of corn I've ever seen, fresh from your garden; demonstrating that chaos is natural and life-enhancing if you have enough faith to keep your wits about you, which you always seemed to do. Only as an adult did I discover your adventurous side when we were in Virginia and you decided to accompany me to Dallas by car rather than fly back to Florida directly. We drove for two days, listening to CDs and singing and talking about life. I've never felt so free and aware of life's endless possibilities. I will miss you greatly. Love, Fran/Dixie

My dad, Charles Janes and Barbara were cousins. Long ago they briefly dated. I think that dad always had a soft spot in his heart for Barbara. After both their spouses died, we would visit her in her homes in Florida. They will have a great reunion in heaven. Charlotte

I only new Barbara for the short period of her life at Cedar Creek. She was a very smart witty lady with a vast knowledge of the world.I was gifted by her with autographed books which I am only now beginning to read and I will treasure them always, as well as my memories of her. Soar with the angels Barbara and keep them on the route!!!!!

Dear Kathy and Joanie,
What a warm,lively,sweetie of a mom you had. I have many fond memories of my time with her and my mom going back to my teens and most recently in Florida 4 years ago now. My heart goes out to you both. There's nothing quite like not having one's mom anymore. (I'm tearing up at the thought.)Hugs to you both, Tina

Dear Kathy and Joan,
Thank you so much for being such good and loving daughters. It has meant a lot to me over the years to know that she had loving family nearby.
I have so many fond memories of my big sister, and I like the thought that she is still helping others through the medical school.
Love, Mary Ray

Dear Kathy and Family,
Although I only met your Mother once, I am reminded as parents our most impacting legacy is our children. As I read of Barbara’s many accomplishments, generous acts of service, and reflect on your life, I can only think that she is resting in peace with the knowledge that you have embraced her legacy and are accomplished, generous, and giving of service with your life.

There is a poem by Linda Ellis called The Dash, which advises us that what matters is not the date we were born or died, but how we filled that time between - the time that shows up as the dash on our tombstone.
May we all fill our dash with the beauty, dedication, energy, adventure and love that Barbara McClenon Clark did.

Dearest Kathy and Jaonie,
I want you and your family to know I was blessed to have gotten to know Barbara if only for a short time. She was an amazing lady who has obviously touched the lives of many. I am especialy grateful to her for bringing us all together and for the forever friendship we will always have. I had the pleasure of watching you both give compassionate care to your mother this past year and saw how much love and respect you both had and have for your mother.
Barbara we will miss your beautiful smile, your encouraging words and your wealth of knowledge, but rest assured all of what you were will continue on through Kathy and Jaonie. For that, we thank you.

Dear Kathy and Family,
Wow! When I look at your mom, I see a reflection of you and I am sure it's the same for her other children.May her spirit continue to live in you as you take the torch and continue her legacy. After reading her bio and all that she has been able to accomplish, her purpose has been fulfilled. A celebration of life is most appropriate. With deep compassion for the family's lost and encouragement for what each one of you has gained from the beautiful life of your mother.

Barbara welcomed me as a friend during my few years in CC. Playwriting, playreading, swimming--even a trip to a shelter during a hurricane--were some of the adventures she brightened for me. She was an inspiration to my life.

I know I said this to you before, but despite all of the traveling I have done since the England trip, that trip STILL ranks at the top of the list as one of the best trips ever. Thank you for investing in my life and for always writing me letters. I will miss you, Grandma Baba and I love you very much.
