Dad it has been one year today  / Linda (Eldest Daughter )
Dad, It has been one year today, way to long, It is so hard with out you around in my life as you understood me so well we were so much alike. I am trying really hard to be strong but it is hard, under the mask it is just me and you. I am looking forward to the day that we can be together again and the mask can be lifted  and I can smile again, until then I will do what is a great passion to me and that is to make sure all children have a great education in life. I am enjoyng helping to raise funds for the school to help not only our children with their education but all the other students at the school and the many children that will pass through its doors over the years to come. It gives me a reason to wake up each day and try and help others as best as i can. I miss you so much daddy, and not a day goes past without you in it. I will always be your little girl and you my dad and no one can take that from me. I love you dad. Linda xxxxxx Close

Rob lives on everyday, in everyway  / Kylie-Ann Gavan (Friend)

Thank-you so very much for sharing your website, your heartache and pain - I feel so very honoured to hear you.  I am also, yet again, so inspired by you - I have much admiration for you. 

I miss your Dad most days and in many ways.  Each time I spoke to him I always asked how you all were....and every single time he always had a great story to tell me about each of you.  So, in a 'one step away' approach I always heard about the adventures of your life and I really miss hearing this on a weekly basis.  Your Dad really did love to tell a story - he was a true story teller. 

I knew Rob for approx. 12 years and in that time he brought alot to my life - he taught me many lessons which I will never forget.  I guess there was a part of me that always new that dreaded phone call was coming and I always held my breath for the first second of any phone call I received from Bob Burgess.  Then on April fool day I received the call from Bob Burgess – Rob Clark had gone to heaven. My best friend…gone from this earth.

I was so deeply sad.  I really enjoyed his company and all the puzzles that went along with him. We had so many things in common.  He will always be close to my heart and I will never forget him.

Rob was a complex man and also a delightful man. He had a huge heart and he loved so deeply (even though most of the time he would never admit it). 

He spent so much of his time trying to protect all those he loved. He desperately wanted to help people and protect people. He was on a mission to ‘get’ the baddies and teach them a lesson - he hated 'bullies'.

Individually we had a great list of adventures and goals we wanted to conqure.  At the moment – life without him is kind of…well lets say something BIG is missing.

Rob is missed by an enormous amount of people, but he will never be forgotten - and it is through the lessons he taught us, the stories we can tell, the ways in which he made an impact on each of our lives that he continues to live on everyday in everyway.

And lastly - I can just see him meeting each of us at the doors of heaven and saying - oh....let me show you around - this place is just great.  He would have explored every little bit of it and found some truley amazing things - because that is just what he always did!

Gone but never forgotten  / Lee And Paula Wittig (Very dear friends )
To the dear Clark Family,

We just wanted to let you know that Bob has not been far from our thoughts this year.  He was a wonderful man and one that we considered one of our dearest friends.  

We just moved recently and we have an Australia sitting room with lots of Australia memories.  The picture of the Clarks, Wittigs, and Rayments all sailing on Sidney Harbor , your mom's painting of the Carellas, pictures of Port McQuarry Beach, the Australian nut cracker and sea shell.  It may have been 11 years since we visited you but the memories are all still very vivid in our minds.  Your dad gave such a lovely Christmas dinner toast welcoming the American invaders to his home.  Never were we treated as royally as we were that Christmas season.  Your mom and dad made us feel just like family.  That is the way we all feel about the Clark Family.  

You were pregnant with James the Christmas we were there and everyone was anxiously awaiting his arrival.  

I wrote to your mom a few weeks ago letting her know that we knew that the anniversary of your dad's death was coming up and that we will all be thinking of you all and keeping you in our prayers.

May God Bless you all.

Love,
Lee, Paula, Stacey, and Lisa Wittig

Hi Poppy  / James And Sarah (First & Second Grand Children (Baker Side) )
I remember him just like I saw him yesterday,
Sitting on his desk with a pen in his hand,
Looking out his window and watching the cars go by.
He was my favourite Pop of all, it was hard to say goodbye.
This man was taken away from me, my very own Pop had died.

He was a quiet timid man all of 61 years,
Who had been through so many things in his time.
I wish you were here with me now with my sister and brother too,
To have them sit on your knee and annoy you just like me.

I miss you very much Pop and your calm and gentle ways,
To kiss and hug you once again I know would be too much to say.
I hope you are very happy now sitting by your window high,
Looking down on all of us and not asking questions why.
I will remember you always until it's my turn to fly.

Hi Pop  / David (Third Grandson (Baker Side) )

Pop,

I didn't get to meet you, 
I didn't get to talk to you, 
nor did I get to hug you,
But you hold a special place in my heart.

Lots of Hugs and Kisses

David xxxxx

Today wasn't my day  / Linda (Eldest Daughter )

Dad, today wasn't my dad. I awoke this morning feeling so tired as I could not sleep last night. 

We stayed at home and worked in the front garden weeding and pruning the plants and repotting the plants from the verhanda. Your garden at the front is going so well and everytime I am in it I thank you for all the hard work you did. The front looked lovely after lunch I enjoyed doing it. 

The kids offered to buy lunch today and cycled down to the corner shop and brought hot chips and fish. We sat on the verhanda eating them.

This evening we had to head down to Edgeworth to collect some plants that we received from a freecycle member and on the way I felt so sad and just wanted it to all go away and I wanted to be with you. I just want this hurt and sadness to go away and want things to be the same again but I know they can't until we meet again. 

So many things were running through my mind at this time and then I looked up to the clouds and there was a perfect angel with wings out just floating looking down at me. A feeling of peace came over me and I knew you were watching over me and telling me I had to go on, that I have responsibilites here on earth that are not finished yet and that you would wait for me.

This moment I will never forget and thank you Daddy for watching out for me where ever I am. You were always there for me when I was feeling down and you still are. 

I love you Daddy.

Love eternally Linda xxxxx

Our Dad  / Linda (Eldest Daughter )


Family Man 


We hope you know how special you are
You're truly a remarkable man.
Your body has left but your memory remains
It was all part of God's Heavenly plan.

Your heart was as big as all of outdoors
You touched everyone that you met.
If ever there was an angel on earth
You were a person no one could forget.

Your family was on the top of your list
Along with God and His son.
We know we'll meet in Heaven again
When our work here on Earth is done.

LIFE / Linda &. Family (eldest daughter )

Life is but a stopping place
A pause in what’s to be
A resting place along the road
To sweet eternity.
We all have different journeys,
Different paths along the way,
We all were meant
to learn some things,
But never meant to stay...
Our destination is a place
Far greater than we know.
For some, the journey’s quicker,
For some the journey’s slow.
And when the journey finally ends,
We’ll claim a great reward
And find an everlasting peace,
Together with the Lord.

I Promise  / Linda Baker (Eldest daughter )


I promise I won't cry forever
But I need to just today.
I promise I will remember
How to live and how to play.

I promise that I'll dry my tears
When the heartache goes away.
I promise that it won't take years
But I need another day.

I promise that I'll live my life
As you would want me to.
I promise when I'm facing strife
I'll face it straight and true.

I promise I will endeavor
To do the best I can each day.
I promise I won't cry forever
But I need to just today.
