My condolences to the Clark family, you have my sympathy for the lost of your dear loved one. Unfortunately we get sick, grow old, and die, and leave our loved ones to mourn. And when that happens God is there to comfort you, and through His comfort you as a family can comfort one another. (2 Corinthians 1:3,4) There is also comfort in that those who have died will have a chance for a real future. (John 5:28,29 ; 11:25,26) For more comforting thoughts go to jw.org.com official website

Bobby, Mary and family,
I am so sorry to hear of your mother, and grandmothers passing. I knew your mom and grandmother for years. I was the former pianist at her husband James' church when I was only 12 years old. I continued to play piano there for years. I later met her nephews Tony and David and he all became friends and would go around with my cousins Sue and Donna and play music. Aunt Bea was very special to me. I now live in Ky and just learned of her passing and will not be able to make it in to Eden in time for the service on Tuesday but will be praying for all of you and will hold dear the last memories I have of our visit when I was home for my dads funeral service in January. I was surprised she still knew me and remembered me playing the piano for their church and how we all used to sing. I will be praying for all of you. Amelia used to love taking her birthday presents to Arbor Ridge before we moved away and love to visit her and hear her tell stories about when I was young.
Love,
Cheryl & Amelia Mann
