I'm so blessed to have had Dot as a friend for the brief time I was with St. Thomas Medical Group. She was a very kind and caring person. Always a lady, class. She loved God, family and friends and it showed everyday. Wonderful influence on anyone who knew her. My condolences to Tim and family. She's singing the glory of God now and forever more. Miss you Sweet Friend.

We, the Bean Family, express our sincere and heartfelt sympathy to our cousin Mr. Tim Clark and family. During this difficult time, when you have lost your wife and your best friend, the children have lost their mother, the grandchildren have lost their grandmother, and the family has lost the angel God placed amongst us, we are praying collectively as a family that God will be close to you and our family now, for strength. It is our hope that the following scriptures will leave you with some semblance of peace and comfort:
THE GOSPEL OF ST. JOHN: Chapter 14:18-20 - I Will Come To You
18: I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. 19: Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. 20: At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. Family take comfort in knowing, the Lord will not leave you comfortless.
THE GOSPEL OF ST. JOHN: Chapter 14:26-28 - A Comforter
26: But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. 27: Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. 28: Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and will come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I. Family have peace in knowing, Dorothy is at peace now with our Father in heaven.
THE GOSPEL OF ST. JOHN: Chapter 16:16 In A Little While
16: A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father. Family, be encouraged knowing, Dorothy is just asleep, resting for a little while, in the arms of the Lord. We will see Dorothy again in a little while...
May God comfort you and our family and show you/us the way. May he bless you, give you strength, peace, and keep each of you in His loving arms.
With deepest sympathy,
Charlie's Ambassadors/Charlie's Angels

To the Clark Family: I knew Dot for several years before I retired. She was undoubtedly one of the sweetest people I have every met. She was a great influence for many with her belief and faith in God. I know she is singing with that beautiful voice in Heaven tonight. God give you all the strength you need during this time.

Jackie, I've been where you are, words only soften the sadness your heart is feeling. One day the memories that now make you sad will come back as sudden thoughts you will cherish and make you smile. I pray Gods comfort with you and the family as you go through this journey, but you will be all right with Gods help. God will bring you out stronger and in peace.

I will miss Ms. Dot so much. My husband and I always looked forward to seeing her when we visited Dr. McDonald. She was such a special lady. My husband always made peanut brittle and fudge for her at Christmas time. Now they can celebrate in heaven together as he passed away last May. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.

Kelly and Holly, I'm deeply saddened by the news but have peace in knowing that there is no more suffering and your mom is in a much better place. I remember Ms Dorothy from years ago at the sleepovers. She's a very sweet woman and I know that you both will miss her tremendously. If you need anything, don't hesitate to contact me. She is soaring with the Angels now.

To Tim, Kelly, Holly and all of the family our prays are with you doing this time of your loss. It seems there's very little anyone can say or do to ease the loss of one who meant so very much to you, but may you find some comfort in the sorrow that you bear, just knowing there are many hearts that understand and care. Knowing now that Ms. Dorothy is no longer in pain but now singing in that heavenly choir. From coach Woods and family. Nashville, TN.
