What does one say when a "wife, mother, grandmother, sister, cousin, friend dies?" There are not anywords to say how bad this loss is and will be felt. Alma was one of a kind and we all love her dearly. Gerald, you had over 50 yrs with this woman and the two of you went through alot together and I know your heart is broken but praise God she didnt have to suffer long. Lollie, Brenda, Gerald Wayne, Bobby Joe, David, and Ray Lynn always remember there is no love like a "Mother's love" and the loss you all feel is overwhelming and you will never completely get over it. I know firsthand. Always remember I loved your Mom very much and she will always have a special place in my heart. Always remember I love each and every one of you so very much. May God carry you all through this most difficult timeof your lifes.
To Gerald and family, my thoughts and prayers are with you all. I know this is going to be a lonely road to walk for a while but ya'll are not alone. I know Alma was a strong & couragous women so I'm sure she left each of you with the strength to make it through. Just try to find a special little place in your hearts,minds and soul to tuck Alma away so she will always feel right there when you need to feel her, hear her voice or see her wonderful smile. This helped me when I lost my dad. And remember God will always turn your mourning into joy, just lean on him for your comfort. You know the Clark bunch is pretty big so if any of you feel like falling I'm sure there will always be someone to catch you. May God bless and comfort you all. Love Tammy Clark Posey
