Memorials

CLARK--In loving memory of our dear Mother, Grandmother and Great Grandmother, Eleanor Clark, who passed away on January 11, 2004.
God looked around his garden and
He found an empty place
He then looked down upon the earth
And saw your tired face.
He put his arms around you
And lifted you to rest,
God's garden must be beautiful
He always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering,
He knew you were in pain,
He knew that you would never
Get well on earth again.
He saw that the road was getting rough,
And the hills were hard to climb,
So He closed your weary eyelids
And whispered, "Peace Be Thine."
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you didn't go alone
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home.
Always loved and sadly missed by children Allen Clark (Dianne), Margaret Stringer (Tom), Marilyn Farquhar (Mike), Ken Clark (Shelley), Ann Parsons (Eric), and Jim Clark (Melody), and families.

CLARK--In loving memory of a dear mother and grandmother, Eleanor Clark, who passed away January 11th, 2004.
In a beautiful river-side graveyard,
Where the gentle breezes blow,
Lies one we loved so dearly
And lost three years ago.
We do not need a special day
To bring you to our minds,
For the days we do not think of you
Are very hard to find.
Forever remembered by your children and families.

CLARK & BATMAN--In memory of my two sisters, Frances Batman and Pat Clark and my brother-in-law Harold Clarke.
When evening descends and we sit in the quiet alone
To our hearts there comes a longing if only you could come home.
When all the times they see us smile
They little know the heartache our smiles hide all the while.
John, Ruth, Wilhelmine and families.

When evening descends and we sit in the quiet alone
To our hearts there comes a longing if only you could come home.

CLARKE--In memory of Michael Thomas Clarke,
1965-2004
I am the eagle, I live in high country
In rocky cathedrals that reach to the sky
I am the hawk and there's blood on my feathers
But time is still turning they soon will be dry
And all of those who see me, all who believe in me
Share in the freedom I feel when I fly.
Come dance with the west wind and touch on the mountain tops
Sail o'er the canyons and up to the stars
And reach for the heavens and hope for the future
And all that we can be and not what we are.
Words and music by John Denver and Mike Taylor
Love the family

CLAUSEN--In loving memory of Darien Harold Simon Clausen (Migizi Niniis - Little Eagle Man) His strength is with us. Born April 24, 2003, died August 7, 2005.
I thought of you with love today
But that is nothing new
I thought about you yesterday
And days before that too
I think of you in silence
I often speak your name
All I have are memories
And your picture in a frame
Your memory is my keepsake
With which I'll never part
God has you in His keeping
I have you in my heart.
-- Mother Karen; sisters Brianna, Shealyn and brother Xavier. Cherished grandson of Harold and Doris Clausen
