Sharon Clark

Sharon Clark’s family shares a poem in her honor:

“In the early morning sky as the agents split in the night, from a dark and dreary hospital room, panting with death’s breath. It is there that they descend as her spirit to take above. It was the voice of Jesus to command our mother to enter heaven’s love.

“As she now has no more pain; it is heaven that she has everlasting Joy! Now she walks the streets of gold as she sits on her Heavenly fathers lap.

“It is there she will never grow old; forever young is she singing with a clap.

“Yes mother you are in heaven with those of whom you have loved. Mother you are now reunited with those of whom you loved. We love you mother and forever will miss you until we are joined again.”

Sharon was born December 6, 1943. She passed away peacefully August 8, 2014, surrounded by her children in California. Her passing was due to complications with diabetes.

A memorial service will be held September 27, 2014 at 3:00 PM at the American Legion Post 15 on the Outer Springer loop.
