Dear Uncle Gary~ I am so deeply sorry that you lost the love of your life way too soon. Aunt Barb was a lovely woman who, unfairly, had so many health struggles through which you always supported her. Regrettably, I do not have all the memories to share as Melanie does. We always lived the furthest away. Nor can I come to give you a hug on Saturday. My granddaughter is getting married. I hate that I cannot be in two places. I shall be with you in spirit & love.

Gran,
You are the rock to our family. Your gentle hands, love, and strength have gotten us through so much! I will never forget everything you have taught me. Whether it be the wise words, playing cards, sewing, knitting, needle point, cooking or simply how to just be a loving and caring individual. I miss you so much! Thank you for all that you did, and will continue to do. I Promise to take care of Grandpa and Mom too.
Guide me through the rest of my journey, and I will see you shortly!
I love you.
Love Allyson

My world became a little sadder when I read of Aunt Barb’s passing.
We know we will die one day, but it’s never easy when the time comes.
Since I’m unable to attend Aunt Barb’s Celebration of Life, I wish to share my memories of her.
My memories:
Aunt Barb singing with my mom (Nancy Law) and Uncle Gary around our piano while mom tickled the ivories;
Christmas dinners and birthday celebrations;
Many family visits when they lived in Brampton.
A Halloween prank Aunt Barb, Uncle Gary, Aunt Mary and Uncle Wes played on my parents (Ron and Nancy). Then they all proceeded to Helen & Jack Petrie’s place to play a prank on them.
Sharing my news with Aunt Barb about the purchase of my first home;
Visiting her and Uncle Gary at their trailer at Aintree. They were two trailers down from my parents;
Hosting my parents surprise 25th wedding anniversary;
She never missed a Clark family gathering;
She always looked great whenever she went out for a social gathering;
Her lovely handwritten letters and Christmas cards;
Her career as a Mary Kay rep and working at the Bridal shop
The yellow Honda Civic;
Chelsea – her Yorkshire Terrier
Even though we mourn her loss and feel sad, it’s comforting to know that she is with her family and has Chelsea sitting on her lap in heaven.
Will miss you as you did my mother.
Love Melanie Vanderhorst
