In late 2010 we lost our beautiful Irene Clark (photo, below on left), who was our original illustrator of our adorable Zoo-phonics® animal letters. Irene helped write the original kindergarten manual with Gigi Bradshaw and developed our Spanish sister program for Zoo-phonics®. She will be missed by so many people who received her love, her beautiful flower arrangements, her wonderful cards she drew and the messages she wrote inside of them.
Irene had a constant heart for others and lived tirelessly to meet their needs. She and her husband, Al, were active in helping build the Groveland Library and establish its museum before they moved to The Meadows in Napa, CA. Once there, Irene was involved in Vespers and often gave the sermons when the pastor couldn't be there. She always arranged the flowers for Sunday. Irene was there for every elderly friend and never let anyone go without a kind word, a prayer or a hug. She was a truly inspirational lady and she will be missed more than words could ever express.
