Clark Family,
Paula was a very special woman. I loved her so much! I have such great memories. Even though she always made me clean my plate and kept it for me in the fridge until the next meal if I didn't eat it! She has left behind her life's greatest works...her beautiful family. I am sorry that I could not make the trip down for the funeral, but my heart was there for sure.

To the family of Paula Clark,
I would like to express my sympathy to you for the loss of Paula. I met Paula many years ago when I worked for her. I always thought she was a special lady. She will be missed by all who knew her. I will miss seeing her camping out to Cutty's. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time

We want to express out sympathy at the death of Paula. I am the one who made out the Dale Family history book - Mary Ann Dale was Paula's relative.
