So sorry to hear of “Bitzie’s passing. Our children grew up together & are still friends to this day.
I grew up a few houses down from the Clarks on Glencairn Rd in Weirton. My thoughts and prayers are with the family, especially Faith and Melody [who I remember very well]. I don’t think that I will be able to make it to the funeral home, but ALWAYS REMEMBER: Death leaves a heartache that no one can heal BUT Love leaves memories that no one can steal. God Bless You All
So sorry for your loss. I remember having so much fun at the Clarke Home and then going over to Bitzie’s. She was always so fun and full of life. She will be missed so much by her entire family . God Bless and my prayers are with you all.
