Jacqueline (Jackie) Helen Clark

Born: 15 March 1943 Irvington, New Jersey. USA

Died: 16 August 2006 Hillsborough, New Jersey. USA

I thought of you with love today but that is nothing new.
I thought about you yesterday and days before that too.

I think of you in silence I often speak your name
All I have are memories and your picture in a frame.

Your memory is my keepsake with which I'll never part
God has you in His keeping I have you in my heart.

*************************

My mom passed away at 63 years old.
Although the end was in sight
there is not a big enough bandaid to fix my heart.
I still do not understand why I could not be with her.
Only my mom knows.

My mom was sick when she was born
a blue baby which now they can fix with 1 surgery.
Although she struggled everyday with not feeling well
she did her best to enjoy her life.

Mom got married and had a baby girl (me Debbie)
although I was supposed to be a boy
so just call me Jeffrey George.

My mom had a lot of good friends.
Horses were her favorite,
and her horse room will always be in tacked I still buy them for her.

My mom is an animal lover all around.
But most of all she loved me (her daughter) and her grandson, Tyler.

My mom loved the beach
and a good green olive with provolone cheese.

I miss you mom every second.
I thank you for all you have done
and continue to do for me.

Please watch over Tyler as he misses you so.

Thank you for still listening to me
go on and on and on and on and on.

I love you forever mom. Tell Grandpa and Uncle George "Hello",
and tell Uncle Bill to stop by some time huh?

You know what ma - I am like you, medicine and all.
I know you were in the hospital with me. I felt you.
I will get you the stone soon. I promise.

I better go now because tears are upon the keyboard
and you would want me to smile.
I love you mommy and will see you soon!

Tyler practiced really well today mom.
Hope you are watching.
Talk to you later.

Hey mom
Talked to Cheryl today
when I went to visit you at the cemetery.
Oh? yeah, right you all ready new that.
I thought that was you.
Mom I know you always say everything
is the way it is supposed to be
but, if you get a minute to talk to GOD
could you please ask him to make me better?
I have asked him/her myself
but maybe now that you are with him
you could put a good word in.
Thanks mom.
I love you.
Tyler and all the animals too!
PS. Have a Happy 1st anniversary home mom!!!

Hi Louise Orbach,
I miss you so.
Did you see that perfect rose bud on your bush?
I miss our walks in the rose gardens at Colonial Park.

I worry about Miss Tish,
but I know as you do that she'll get through.
She's a great kid!!!
You're with good company with Bobby, Eric and Bill.

I walked a mile with pleasure she chatted all the way.
But left me none the wiser for all she had to say.
I walked a mile with sorrow and not a word said she.
But oh the things I learned from her
when sorrow walked with me.

My dear sister-friend,
my heart is one year heavier.
Thelma Cage

Hey Ma
Muggy day here today - got some things accomplished.
Oh - by the way - thank you for the parking spot.
Tyler has been spending a lot of time in your bedroom.
And yes - I will start doing what the doctor says.
But resting is not in my book
at the hall of records I do not believe,
but I will do it for you and you know the rest.
love you Mom talk with you tonight!

I love you Mom.

Hey Ma
Try to spend some time with Cuckie if you can
because as you probably know he had surgery on his ear.
I am missing you so bad mom.
I cannot stop crying today
so many unanswered questions
and when I am going to cry
I hear you say "no no - no no"
just like we always did.
Pinky swear mom!
Tyler has his first game on Sat
I will look for you
Love tizzy lish cameo misses you!

I hope you really are ok Mom
I see your signs
Please blink the radio in Leo more - that really helps.
I know you watch over Tyler mom but I worry about him
he keeps a lot inside and then has a melt down
- like mother, like grandmother, like grandfather
We miss you ma!
I yelled for you in the store the other day
force of habit
funny how I felt warm like a hug then - or is it?
HA-love you.

*************************

Mom Ordered your plaque - hope you will love it. I think you will.
Life is very difficult - could you try to let me know you are around.
I know you are busy but could you blink the radio again or something.
I go to Debbie on the 15 could you let her know you know about something only me and you would know.
Like my tattoo on my leg that has mom on it - do you like it?
I will write more another day - love you always

Mom
Please watch over dad. I worry about him.
You know what is going on and please help him in any way you can.
Ask Grandma too. Oh and by the way - thanks for the talk last night - miss Tish
p.s. Chiquita is still missing and I am running out of places to look.
Please help us find her.
I do believe in miracles and Tyler is going
you know where this weekend and is having a hard time.
Please go with him if you can. Thanks mom.
If you cannot make it, see if Grandma will go.
love again Tizzy Lish with love

*************************

Good morning Ma - it is October 25 2007.
As you know Daddy is OK - but please grandma look after him!
And you to Ma, I know you both do.
As you are well aware that Granny fell.
What a nightmare. Please guide me Mom in doing what is best for her and keeping her safe.
You know how stubborn she can be.
I find myself being very solemn at times
I wonder if that is you now grandma or one or the others helping me get through without a meltdown?
Well whatever you guys are doing, thank you.
Let me know about poncho -should I keep it or what?
Tyler is getting into that teenage crummy attitude stage - ugh how did you and Daddy stand it?
Your plaque should be in soon.
love you, Debbie.
Oh and ps - now i know why you disliked warfrin so much!!!!!!
Talk with you later ..

*************************

Mom
Going to granny's now to do some things
that I will not go into detail
because you know what I have to do.
Please help me with the whole Granny thing
so that I do what we would feel is best for her.
It is really hard. Thank you for your support!
Thanks for letting me know what was entailed for Daddy.
Love you. Talk to you later!!!!!

Mom, it is November 4 2007
and all day Tyler is saying how much he misses you.
Can you please hug him or do something to let him know you are ok.
Dad was tired again today - he seems to do well and then, oh I do not know, I just want him to be ok.
I really could use you right here - selfish I know but hey - it is what it is!
Guess you know Tyler needs glasses - ordered them - did you help him pick them out?
I really miss you Mom
Love Debbie

*************************
Good morning Ma -
Hey Ma Grandma will not take any of her pills like you -
have you been talking to her?
Give me some strength Ma to handle her she is small but mighty.
She does not want to be here ma hopefully you will come pick her up soon.
and of course you know I do not mean that I do not love her -
hey I would not want to be here at 93 and ailing either.
Still wheezing and craby as you know.
Kinda sick of everything today anyway -
Love you ma -
oh by the way how do you like the carousel?
Talk to you later in the car
Love you
T Lish

*************************

Ma - Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp!
I do not not what to do ma - everything is in chaos and I cannot stand it.
You know what is going on so I do not have to go into detail.
Please help me figure things out.
Maybe you and Grandma can get together and give me an idea what to do about Granny.
I understand everything she says - but, I am afraid, I will find her on the floor.
I honestly do not know if I can do that again, I still am messed up from the last one.
I think that if I was there it would not have happed quite like it did.
I know it is what it is but it sucks!
love you Ma.
p.s. - please watch over daddy!

*******************************

Ma, well you know what has been going on.
Going to the Doctor tomorrow and I hope you come along.
Trying to get ready for Christmas. Wish you were here.

Anyway, I need glasses. I know you all ready knew that.

Mom - as you know I was at the hospital to get granny again.
Things are getting crazy mother.
I think it must be the aliens wearing moo moo's drinking vita vita vegamin.
Of course you would only understand what I am talking about.
I think that is so awesome.
Granny said she saw you the other day and you looked wonderful (as always)
she told you not now - pick her up all ready how long does she have to live like this.
63 does no way compare to 93 but geezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
93 ha she wants to get out of here.
You were only a young chick at 63.
I will talk to you tonight.
love you mom - Debbie

18 Jan 2008
Hey Ma - Please keep a half an eye on Daddy - ask Grandma too!
Also thanks for being there on the 16th.
I just could not figure it out, and you know when it finally hit me I was crushed.
Crazy C is having a lot of problems again. Do not worry about her I will help her the best I can.
Well I guess you know what the doctor said. Keep me updated on what I should do.
Come around the radio Ma it has been awhile.
Thanks for sitting with Tyler while he was so sick.
Love you T Lish.

Mom not having the best day - trying to paint the basement
Dad wants me to move your horses downstairs .
No one seems to understand how I still suffer so.
The crying and the heartache is too much.
I believe that you hear me talk to you. I would be sick of me by now.
Your right - I do not tell them, no one seems to understand except Tyler
and I hate to bother an 11 year old like that.
Hopefully I will feel a little better when your plaque is in.
I am so sorry it was not put in yet. weather I guess.
I have to get Tyler - love you mommy.

So of course you know what is going on. Please I understand things happen for a reason although frankly I think it stinks (And you know I cleaned that up). I still hurt really bad Ma - I do not understand how you did it. With your Dad, Granny is hanging in there - sometimes by a thread. Daddy is having trouble (you Know). Can you and Grandma please help him Mom. He does not deserve all this mess. The girl from the monument place said your plaque was in - so let's see it all ready.

What do you think of the basement colors so far. Need your sunglasses right. Ah Mom so many times I go to pick up the phone and tell you something - I feel I will never get used to this. I am going to try to get to the racetrack this year - promise you will go with me . Check my book and let me know what day we are going.

Tell Aunt Marion that I joined a book club at your friend Catherine's. I hope it is OK with you. She is a lovely person.

I would be the best little girl ever if GOD would just let me hug you. remember we would hug and then say OK that is enough. pinky swear. IT IS A MOO MOO! YOUR THE COOLEST MA. VERY HARD WITHOUT YOU BUT sooner than I think you will come get me. Thanks for sending me back the times you did. Tyler, Daddy and Granny really need me here.

Oh did you know (duh of course you did) I revived my Reiki master. Yeah baby I'm hot stuff now - yeah hello.

Talk to me through the radio ma, I miss that.

Love you always and more. Debbie

I wish you were here to go to Red Lobster for my birthday. I get so lonely Mom .
I'm going to the cemetery soon. Your Stone will be put in as soon as the ground is softer.
Please watch over daddy; you and Grandma please.
I am really worried about him with you know what/who.
Daddy does not deserve her crap.(and I cleaned that up).
Well off to do bloodwork.
Thanks for always listening to me Ma - how about some radio action?
Do you like the painting? Bet you wish it was done allready.
Love you - Me

Also You know about daddy - well I am very worried in regards to his health not just because of you know who, but I feel like he is sicker. I hope my Reiki helps him.

Things are coming along as you are well aware - If you see Mr. pain say hey - nad you know Johnnie Duffy's dad just passed too so I hope Johnny is with his dad.

Help me keep up my strength ma - life is too tough - definitely is no hell when you pass, it is here. I really believe that.
