My sister and I are thankful that we had the opportunity to meet your delightful mother. She was so generous to share her Clark family genealogy book with us. Our deepest sympathy to all of you. Bev Chariton and Jan Anthony
To the entire Family, We are so very sorry to learn of Velma’s passing. What a sweet fun lady. At 90 years she had a good life, the things she has seen and done in those years far surpasses what many of us will see. Now she can enjoy a well deserved rest and look down at this troubled world we live in. Please know we would be there for all of you if we were not so far away. Love to everyone. Tom and Elaine Ferguson
