My husband and I enjoyed the friendship of Clark and MaryJane for many many years in the Lone Mountain Ward. We did not get to meet Alice, but remember Clark's delight when he told us of his upcoming marriage to her. Longtime friendships hold a special place in my heart. I do miss Clark's big smile every time we'd greet one another. Unfortunately, we were unable to attend the services. My late, but sincere, sympathy to all of Clark's family and loved ones.

Hello. To Clark Senior's loved ones, and especially to his children: You may not remember me, but I went to school with Tina in WA.my 7th grade year, her 8th grade year. My heart goes out to all of you, as losing a loved one... words don't express how hard it is to cope with the loss of one who is so entwined in your hearts. And though, words just seem like words, not enough to take away your pain,I so wish I could. A hope we share is that he will be back in your arms in the near future, as will many of our loved ones we so dearly miss! Your father was loving enough to bring you all by to visit me and my family a couple years after you left Yelm. A special hug for Tina, Christy, Grace,and Clark Jr. Maria Brugeon Groseclose
