Peggy Had a Great Day

John Garner Clark was 19 and Peggy June Riley Clark 17 when they married in 1952. In April 2023, they celebrated their 71st wedding anniversary. Signs of dementia started showing up in Peggy in 2011. Gradually, her dementia worsened until the Clark family decided she needed to be in an assisted care facility. In 2021, a nurse suggested hospice. John was shocked. He said: "I guess I was not prepared for this news. I know Peg has been praying that the Lord would go ahead and take her home, but I guess I'm not ready to give her up yet. Still, I would not like her to continue in this 'hell on Earth' situation, so I am agreeing with her prayer." . . . (See Page 105) "She was expecting the Lord to come and get her tonight. . . . I told her I would be right behind her. She laughed and said that she would walk slowly, so I could catch up." . . . (See Page 57) Peggy gently entered into the Lord's presence on May 3, 2023.
