Edward B. Clark

Edward Brian Clark age 37 of Maryville, formerly of Northern Virginia, passed away Monday, November 19, 2007 at Blount Memorial Hospital. He was presently employed with Shannondale of Maryville as a cook. He will always be loved and missed by all who knew him. It is a deep mystery this matter of life and death. That the same person who brought us a thousand joys can one day leave us to shed a thousand tears. So suddenly sometimes that we are left with words unspoken and hugs we needed to give to say good-by. We wonder how this thread that holds us all to life can be so thin and fragile. Until one day we find the courage to accept that the living are not meant to understand death, only to celebrate life with those that remain and to remember that the only real death is to be forgotten. Our beloved son, Edward Brian Clark 3-3-70 to 11-19-07. Preceded in death by: Grandparents, Albert & Anna Belle Clark; Grandfather, Arnold Farley.
