Life is eternal and love is immortal; And death is only a horizon,
And a horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight.
Rossiter W. Raymond This memorial website was created to remember our dearest daugther Mindy Leigh Clark who was our gift from God. Mindy was born on December 19, 1979 and became an angel on May 10, 2002 at the age of 22.
Our world will never be the same but Mindy will live forever in our memories and hearts... never forgotten, always a part of all that we do. Until we are a family again in Heaven we'll be missing you dear Min...
I don't know why God put Mindy into my life only to take her away. This question comes to my heart often. I can only calm my heart with the words from Isa :55, 9 " For just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts higher than your thoughts"
God is wiser than I, and he loved Mindy no less than I did. I also know that God allowed me a glimpse of eternity thru the eyes of those he left behind who had been touched or changed by Mindy's life and her love for animals and her compassionate heart.
My daughter is not my PAST. SHE IS MY FUTURE. we do not stop carrying those we love in our hearts and spirits because we can't see or touch them. Their memories remain alive as an active part of our lives. Honoring memories is about preserving the gifts of love God allowed to grace our lives with on this earth. It's a holy love that dwells in the places carved inside our hearts by love itself. It's part of the reason we are Who we are.
We are taught of a God we cannot see--who will hold and comfort us. I know now that I would not have been able to come to this step in my journey in grief without Gods hand in mine. God's grace has carried me--not because I had great faith, but because I had great NEED.
God meets us individually in our mourning and he has held me up in my greatest time of need.
So many things were hard thru my life, but like I said I survived. Now---a life without you. This loss is so great. How do I find my way? How do I go on? I know the only reason I have survived so far is because God is walking beside me holding my hand, just as he has thru all the other times in my life. This time he is just holding on tighter. On the really bad days he puts his arms around me and holds me up.
I miss you so much...my Mindy ...my heart always and forever my heart.

If I Had Known
If I had known it would be the last time that I'd see you fall asleep,
I would have tucked you in more tightly and prayed to the Lord, that you I could keep.
If I had known it would be the last time that I would see you go out the door,
I would have given you an extra hug and kiss and then called you back for one more.
If I had known it would be the last time I would see you smile and hear what you had to say,
I would have recorded each action and word, so I could play them back day after day after day.
If I had known it would be the last time, I could spare an extra minute or two,
I would have stopped what I was doing and spent every single minute with you.
If I had known it would be the last time I would have to share your day,
well I just knew we'd have so many more, I would not have let that one slip away.
If I had only known what was in store for us that day I would not have let you out of my sight,
Instead I would have stood by your side to protect you and held back the hands of time with all my might.
If had known what I know now
I would have prayed to God and begged for Him to change our fate somehow…..
