In Memory of MILDRED CLARK:
We never know the places the Lord would lead us to! We may not know the people either! That’s is the exact case with my coming to know Mildred Clark and Peggy McFarland!
Mildred needed more physical help than anything else. Peggy saw I was up to the task and trained me well (before I even realized it! Ha!!) Mildred’s well being was all that Peggy was concerned about. And her love for Mildred soon motivated me to do and be all I could for Mildred. Mildred has travelled and loved to collect rocks! She was a green thumb and loved flowers more than even Larry Bruce or Laura Platt! 😂 Mildred was plain and simple. But she was very smart! She was so disciplined with her money that she showed me once by me putting money in an envelope in her drawer and NOT touching it, that I would have some. Well I did and my car needed work later on. She came to me with envelope âœ‰ï¸ in hand and asked me “how much do you think you have in here.†I said about 2-300.00 hundred dollars??? She smiled and handed me the money. There was 900.00 + dollars in there! She delighted in seeing her efforts bring so much help and joy in a time of need. So we really helped each other! Her and Peggy were a marvel to me and always will be. They invited me and my puppy Simba into their lives and even allowed my 2 1/2 year old granddaughter, displaced by Hurricane Harvey, to come there for a bit! Even she left there a new and more beautiful child! I am forever grateful to my Heavenly Father for Mildred. Caring for her taught me there isn’t anything we can’t do if we truly love others. Love you Mildred. See you Later and you were truly the high place of my heart in my life forever! Love Joy
