Obituary
A precious one from us has gone: A voice we loved is stilled,
A place is vacant in our hearts, Which never can be filled.
MR. EDDIE B. CLARKE, a son of Marion Clarke and the late Carrie Allen Clarke was born in Saluda County, SC, on August 15,1948.
On Monday Afternoon, July 10, 1995, MR, EDDIE B. CLARKE suddenly departed this life.
He received his education in the public schools of Saluda County, SC.
At an early age he joined the Willow Spring Baptist Church where he maintained his membership until passing.
He was employed by Satterfield Construction Company for a number of years.
EDDIE will be dearly missed by his family, friends and all who knew and loved him. His memory will be forever cherished by his family and friends.
He leaves to cherish his fond memories, his wife, Barbara R. Clarke of the home; one daughter, Angela McGraw of Nash ville, TN, his father, Marion Clarke of Saluda, SC; two sisters, Essie A. Lurk of Greenwood, SC and Carrie C. Richardson of Saluda, SC; seven brothers, Albert and Marion Clarke, Jr. both of Philadelphia, PA, James, George, Nathaniel, Fredrick and Sylvester Clarke all of Saluda, SC; nine sisters-in-law, two broth ers-in-law; nine aunts, six uncles; and a host of nieces, nephews, other relatives and many sorrowing friends.
Humbly submitted, THE FAMILY
WE DO NOT SAY GOODBYE
We do not say goodbye who come to mourn, The tears we cry are really not for you. We are the lonely, we are sad, forlorn For when you died a part of us died too. It is for us the living to endure The aching pain you passing left behind; Your happiness is finally secure,
You have the peace which none of us can find. The reason you were chosen can't be known. We would have kept you longer if we could,
But God called you unto His very own, He surely must have thought that you were good,
While missing you will make life incomplete. The memory of your presence will not die, And since some happy day again we'll meet, As you proceed we do not say goodbye.
Lovingly submitted. The Family
