Today, I am honoring my Grandma Clark - Lilly Viola Malm Clark - the kindest person I have ever known, and the person who taught me to love the gospel of Jesus Christ (Mormonism) simply through her personal faith in its restored truths, and her life of service as a disciple of Jesus Christ.
My Grandma Clark is the reason I am an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and I will eternally be grateful for having been sealed to her, through her and my grandfather's adoption of my mother!
I have no doubt that she is, beyond the veil, a very active part of my life, and that of each of my children and grandchildren.
Lilly was the second wife to my grandfather, who had four children with his first wife, who passed away as a young mother. My grandmother could not have children of her own, and so my mother was adopted and is her own special baby! She is a saint and I love her dearly!
