[Springboard] [Oe List ...] Prayers requested for Don Clark

[Marianna Bailey]

We fondly remember Don as the area prior during the Town Meeting days when 
were in Oklahoma City. Our prayers are with Don and his family as he moves 
toward the completion of his earthly life.

Marianna and Bill Bailey
