Much love to the Clark family in this difficult time. I remember visiting with Grandma Marguerite when Megan and I were young, and always being so impressed with her wit and spunk! Please trust that she is in a good place and that she is watching over all of you now.

Marguerite was the only grandmother our children ever knew. "Marg", as she was called, was a beautiful Christian woman and she loved her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Enjoy your journey Marg, someday we will all be together again.
