I Cannot find the electronic copy of the paper I wrote on her life, hopefully after I move it will show up so I can post it on this blog.
I found some of the hard copy so I will post a few of the stories and feel free to comment.
"Lark was a sweet girl with a strong spirit. 'Her relationship with the savior was different from most.' She had a very intimate relationship and expressed this bond throughout her childhood. 'She used to cry often and when asked what the matter was, she said she was homesick and missed her big brother (referring to Jesus). She spoke often of the preexistance and of her relationship with Jesus.' She used to tell everyone, 'I know my heavenly father loves me because Jesus told me so.' It was her first part in the primary program, and she let everyone know it! It's amazing that with that same strong spirit there were times that if directed in a different way, it could cause trouble to her offenders. For example, Lark was very accepting of the handicapped and had a gift in the way she dealt with them. One day at school a student was teasing someone who was handicapped. Lark saw this and told him to stop. The taunting continued until she was fed up with it. She directed her anger at the boy who had offended her, smashed the bully's face into the drinking fountain, and proceeded to throw her shoe at him. Although her intent seemed right, the actions weren't necessarily lady like. Crying, she called her mother from the office. However, when Lark was calm and more collected, it seemed a better opportunity for her mother to explain why the actions weren't appropriate.
Well there you go, this is a excerpt of the paper I wrote. comment as much as you'd like on it :) I want to hear more stories!
