I'm sorry to hear about your mother's passing. She was a great woman.

I am deeply saddened by the death of your beloved mother, a pillar and a hero to many of us. What a special gentle soul and kind spirit she always was. Just simply one of my favorite people on this planet and in my entire lifetime.

When I think of the word lovingkindness I think of Charlotte Ennis Clark.

Your mom left a giant and profound footprint...one that has certainly had a much larger impact than many can imagine. Frankly, she impacted, changed, and helped direct my life. I consider her my second mother. And she left the finest and most devoted, socially-directed and caring children I know. What an incredibly well-lived life.
And what an awesome legacy.

I extend my love and thoughts and fondest memories to the Clark, Manney, Ennis, and Clark-Mahoney families.

I'm with you right now...know how deeply I care.

Love and Peace to you all. Love and Peace to Mumma.

Crowfoot, a member of the Blackfoot tribe, said these words in his dying hours:

"What is life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night.
It is the breath of a buffalo in the winter time.
It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset."
