Junie, Jeff, and Children,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you as you must say good bye to a wonderful lady. Our families have shared so much of our lives together. Mary never missed an opportunity to tell me how much she loved our sons. As recently as a few weeks ago, she shared with me her love for them by telephone. I could tell that she probably had those big tears in her eyes as she would so often do as she spoke of people and matters about which she had such true conviction and love. Marys' influence has impacted our family, our community, our church, City Halls, County Courthouses, the State House, and even the White House over her years. She was a woman of commitment and compassion for her family, friends, and issues that will continue to influence us for many years to come. Mary was a 'trailblazer' for women becoming involved in public issues. She made her choices and stood by them. . . a true example of loyalty. Mary has taught us that we must have passion in all that we do. Whether it is raising our children, serving our church, our community, or our country, she would have us do so with conviction, passion, loyalty, and love. Mary did all of these things and remained a beautiful 'Southern Lady' of genuine style and eloguence. Mary, our true Patriot, has made her journey to Heavens' Gates on Independence Day. God bless us all for having Mary in our lives and God bless you.
Our Love and Prayers,
Patty, Curtis, Conrad, Corbett, and Cameron Clark

I remember years ago working with Mary in Central Forwarding at the Greensboro Post Office. Although we only worked together for a short time, she made my days happier with her sunny and positive personality. I thank God for her and will never forget her. May God bless you and keep you during this sad time.
