Dear Mrs. Clark - you and Mr. Clark were friends of my mom when we lived in Windsor Forest - my mom was Celia Dupont Winters - I was saddened to read about Mr. Clark's passing. I remember visiting your home several times and you, Mr. Clark and the girls were always welcoming. Although my mom is no longer with us, I know she would want me to let you know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and the girls. I find great comfort and joy in the memories I have of mom - I'm sure the memories you have of your husband and father will provide you strength in the coming days. Carolyn Winters Humphrey
