Father God has called his beloved daughter Ketura Clarke (Cathy, Tura) home. Ketura passed peacefully surrounded by family and friends – knowing that she was loved beyond measure. In remembrance of Ketura’s sunrise (September 20, 1935) and in honour of her sunset (May 31, 2013) her family would like to share the below poem, because we know she has gone home and is more beautiful than ever.

Do not Stand at My Grave and Weep
By M. Frye

Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there, I did not die.

May God bless her soul, and keep her family.

Condolences to the Clark family on the passing of Miss Tura. May God comfort you all during your time of sorrow. Take comfort in his love and care. She was a kind soul and may her soul rest in peace.

Another friend and neighbour is gone. Ketura Clarke affectionately known as Tura or Catty leaving Children Sonia, Maureen, ( Sawdust) and Jack.

We: Sonia, Maureen and Jack would like to express our sincere thank you and appreciation, to all the family and friends that attended our mothers memorial services at Turner & Porter Funeral Home in Canada, and Treasure Beach Church of God in Jamaica.

We had wonderful memorial services that celebrated our mother’s life, and the tributes from various family members and friends were truly touching. Moreover, it was lovely to be able to gather after the memorial services for receptions that enabled us to console one another, and remember the beautiful and graceful person that our mother was.

Once again, thank you for you all your support and may God Bless You.

My deepest sympathy goes out to Soan(my sister), Maureen and Jack on the passing of their loving Mom Miss Turah. I remember Miss Turah as being a wonderful and kind woman.
May her soul rest in peace.
May God comfort you all during this difficult time.

Heartfelt condolence to my big sister Sone, Maureen ,Jack and the rest of Miss Tura's family on her passing.I vividly remember as a boy growing up in Treasure Beach when Miss Hilma & Tura went to Canada. Picture posted by Mia, that smile, brought back such pleasant Treasure Beach memories.May her Soul Rest in Peace.

It truly was a beautiful memorial service for Tura with many people in attendance, including a large group of folks from Treasure Beach.

It was clear to see from the collage of pictures, that she was a loving person and was truly loved and admired by her family.

(Imagine this poem was written by your beloved mom.....To my children)

If I should go tomorrow
It would never be goodbye,
For I have left my heart with you,
So don’t you ever cry.

The love that’s deep within me,
Shall reach you from the stars,
You’ll feel it from the heavens,
And it will heal the scars.
