Allison (Paul)

When Paul and I got married, I immediately felt she was not only Paul's Grandma, but also my grandma.  Her warmth and unconditional love and acceptance was felt right away.  One of my favorite and most special memories of Grandma Clark was from when Paul and I were first married.  Paul and I drove to Garrett because Paul was going to golf with Grandpa and the guys (of course!).  For some reason that I can't remember, I was the only girl there.  So, Paul dropped me off at Grandma and Grandpa's house to spend the afternoon with Grandma - just her and I.  What a special time.  I am so thankful for that day and right away knew that I was lucky to have that one-on-one time with her.  We drove around Garrett in their Trailblazer and she proudly showed me her childhood memories, her father's telephone company building, she and grandpa's storage building, and more.  She shared stories with me that I'd heard from other family members - but it was extra special hearing them from her.  We then went back to their house...and of course she fed me!  I knew she loved giving to others through her food!  I had her vegetable beef soup and it was delicious!  Wow, what a precious memory.  What an amazing legacy Grandma left to my husband Paul, and now on to our son, Josiah.  I love you, Grandma.
