Cameron Clarke

She was a rare gem, one of the most alive & fun people I have ever known...Fred & I used to LOVE the New Years Day Bash,,,she will be missed by so many that shared her love for life!!! Love to her family, Beverly Gledhill....San Diego.

Gretchen was a special lady. She adored Waltah and her children. She had a special "spark" that never dimmed. I had the pleasure of working for the Clarke's and Meeka and always marveled at how "in love" the Clarke's were. What began as a working relationship, turned into a memorable friendship that I will treasure. Aloha Gee Cee...May you rest in peace with your beloved.

Champagne, chili, New Year's Day, laughs and fun will never be the same...I loved every moment of it..."Gleddie"...(Fred Gledhill)

Please convey my prayers to the family of Gretchen Klaus Clarke. She was a happy, outgoing person and everyone loved her. I was a sorority sister of hers at NU and kept in contact with her for years. She always sent me beautiful Christmas cards with the whole family pictured. I saved them for years and thought of her. She and I met in 1973 at a Delta Gamma convention and she and I met again in about 1979 in Palm Desert...she came and played tennis and visited my hosts. I would like to...

Mom, you were an amazing woman. I learned so much from you. I will always remember the fun times we had laughing and talking until all hours of the morning.
Love forever,
Goody

DEAREST GRETCHEN, WHEN I FIRST JOINED DUSTY WINGS, AND FOUND AN EMPTY SEAT, YOU WERE THERE, SAYING TO SIT DOWN, WELCOME, AND YOU BOUGHT ME A GLASS OF WINE !! I DIDN'T KNOW ANYONE EXCEPT JILL STANGER, WHO BROUGHT ME AS HER GUEST. FROM THEN ON, IF I GOT THERE FIRST, I WOULD SAVE YOU A SEAT AND VICE VERSUS. I SO ENJOYED YOUR COMPANY, AND HEARING ABOUT YOUR FAMILY, YOUR LIFE AND YOUR FLYING DAYS!! THE LAST LUNCH OF THE SEASON THAT I ATTENDED LAST SPRING, YOU WERE USING A WALKER, BUT STILL...
