I have made this page in honor of my very good friend, Squeak aka
Mary Clark. Squeak loved the color purple and she loved the
House Mouse graphics.

Squeak was born on June 17, 1953 and died on January 16, 2005.
It was a shock to us all. I had just received an email
from her daughter,Lissa, telling me Squeak was in the
hopital but was doing fine and was to get out the next
day. I had to work that day and late that afternoon,
I got a phone call from my son, Ronnie, telling me
that I had recieved a phone call from Denise saying
that Squeak had died. I was just devastated. I
couldn't think or do anything right then. I was the
Assistant Manager for a small convenience store at the
time and I was in the back of the store doing my work.
I lost it, I couldn't think at all but "no, he had to
be wrong". He was not wrong.I guess it was a good thing
I still had a couple hours left to work as I was not in
any shape to be driving.

Squeak and I had been making plans for me to go to California
in February of 2005 to meet and visit with her. We were
waiting on my first year to be over so I could use my
vacation time for this. I am so sorry it never came to pass.

Though Squeak and I had never met in real life, it was like
we were so close she knew what I was going to tell her
before I could say anything. We would talk on MSN Messenger
and she was awful in her spelling to me because she knew I
could figure out what she was saying anyway. This wonderful
Lady knew me inside and out. If I was down she would say
something that would have me laughing. If I had a problem,
she listened to me, offered me advice and didn't mind
telling me "I told you so". We laughed together and
cried together.

Squeak was a member of the Garden of Friendship. This was
her only online organization and she loved it dearly.
She had joined the Garden of Friendship shortly after
it was formed in the year of 2000 and became a Garden
Keeper shortly after that. I wished I knew the dates
to put in her, but I don't remember them. She was
loved by all who had come in touch with her.

In closing, I want to say, Squeak, my dear friend, I love
you and miss you. I know you are in a better place now
and are watching over me and still guiding me.

God Speed, dear one.
