Johnny Henry Clarke, Jr.

July 30, 1959 – December 11, 2013

“Nothing can make up for the abseance  of Someone whom we Love…It is nonsense to say that God fills the gap: God doesn’t fill it, but on the  contrary, God keeps it empty and so helps us to keep alive our former communion with each other, even at the cost of pain … The dearer and richer our memories, the more difficult the separation. But gratitude changes the pangs of memory into a tranquil joy. The beauties of the past are borne, not as a thorn in the flesh but as a precious gift in themselves.”
