I was looking at memories in face book this morning and saw a post from 9 years ago wanting to know if I was coming to Penticton during my holidays. Like everything else in a busy life missed so many opportunities to spend time with you. Your support over the years reminding me I am a strong woman and a Clark. I was so pleased every time people said I reminded them of you. The best compliment any one has ever given me. Every time I feel weak and want to just quit life I will hear you telling me that I’m stronger than I think. It’s those memories I cherish and will never forget. Thank you for loving me when I felt unlovable.
