Sara Ilene Clark

I am so sorry to hear of Sally's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with all the Clark family.

I just heard about Sally's death. I have memories of taking care of her younger sisters and brothers , then she would come home and take over . also seeing her at church.

This guest book ends soon, so I just want to remind anyone who looks at this to go to Mom's Blog. I'm putting her Potato Salad recipe on soon. www.welovemom.blogspot.com

It is such a surprise and a sorrow to hear that Sally passed away! Lil, Hanna, Ben, and Steven too, I don't even know if you remember me, but I remember you fondly, and the chaos and warmth in the House on Mercer, as well as Greenwater and the place on John's Island. Ben- we went fishing out there when you were about 13, and we caught rockfish and a ling cod that was a new creature to us, we were a bit freaked out to see that face looming out of the dark water...

I hadn't seen...

I can't think of Sally without a big smile on my face and in my heart. The joyful mischief we shared! I'll miss having her in the world, miss the random meetings at U Book Store or on campus, miss the chance to reminisce and share memories of our wonderful years at HNA, and miss the future with her. My thoughts are with her children and family - such a huge loss. But weren't we lucky to have crossed paths in life with the likes of Sally Clark!

It has been a long time since I have seen Sally but I remember her as being kind, gentle and patient. There were always handfuls of kids running in and out of her house on Capitol Hill and she always made us feel welcomed. I remember her being a wonderful mom to her children and to all those who passed through her house. To Lillian, Benji and Hanna, you are in my heart and thoughts during this difficult time, I am so sorry for your loss.
Love,
Kate O’Donnell

Dear Clark Family,
Sally is a special memory from my chilhood on Capital Hill. I knew her from 7th grade throught high school where we were very close friends. She was a gentle, kind young girl who had a special gift of listening and being genuine in her concern for you and whatever was going on in your life. I have so many fun memories of school, life on Capital Hill, trips to Johns Island and Roche Harbor, and just hanging out and doing what kids do. My sympathy goes out to her...

Benjamin, Lillian and Hannah, I am so sorry for your loss. How wonderful it was that you had the Mama you did. She was a treasure. She introduced me to John's Island, she helped me buy my first pair of jeans, she shared her room with me one summer at the Capital Hill home, she was a sister of heart. Bless you all.

We first met Sally in the early 70s when Damon & Benji were on the same soccer team. I can still see her striding the soccer fields in her long granny dresses, all beautiful and elegant and serene. I guess you could say I had a crush on her, but it was a chaste crush, without desire, like a commoner beholding a princess. I just liked being around her. She embodied for me the vibe of the 60s, which even by then was starting to dissipate as cynicism and violence regained its upper hand. ...
