So very sorry to learn about Clark. He was always gracious and kind when we were working on various political activities. I also remember Clark’s good sense of humor.

Even though I did not know Clark I would like to offer my sincere sympathy and respectfully leave a message of comfort.
“If a man die, shall he live again?” asked the man Job long ago. (Job 14:14, King James Version) Perhaps you, too, have wondered about this. How would you feel if you knew you could have a reunion with your loved ones right here on earth under the best of conditions?
Well, the Bible makes the promise: “Your dead ones will live…..They will rise up.” And the Bible also says: “The righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will reside forever upon it.” Isaiah 26:19; Psalm 37:29.
To have confidence in such promises we need to answer some basic questions: Why do people die? Where are the dead? And how can we be sure they can live again?
I would love to share these Bible gems with you at no obligation should you contact me.
