   Attorney Norman Clifford Clark, July 13, 1961 –
   ...
   Those who knew or saw him say he was always "different." They tell us, "His spirit was so sweet it was as though he was not really of this world."
   
   Norman Clifford Clark was born in Detroit. He was the youngest of four sons that blessed the union of Lavelle and Annie Ruth Clark. He accepted Christ as a youth and was baptized at Peoples Community Church under the late Rev. Darneau Stewart. He served as an Acolyte faithfully until leaving for college.
   
   Norman attended elementary and high school in the Southfield Public Schools System. After graduation in 1978, he attended Michigan State University, where he accepted an internship at the office of Congressman John C. Conyers in Washington D.C.
   
   In 1983, Norman graduated from Michigan State University and decided to continue his education at Howard University School of Law in Washington D.C., where he received a Jurist Doctorate Degree in May 1987. After passing the Michigan State Bar Exam, Norman accepted a position with the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) as an attorney.
   
   While working with HUD, he resigned due to his health.
   
   Norman was a member of the Michigan State Bar.
   
   During the ceremony at which he was made a church Trustee, he dissolved into tears, able only to say "I've always wanted to be like my Dad."
   
   He requested a special mention be made of the following persons he loved dearly: his godsisters, Stephanie Donaldson, Shelia Donaldson, Gwendolyn Smith, and Nancy Woods; his special cousins, Renee Edwards and Denise Wilson; his special friends, Robert Jordan, Debra Lee, and Nicole Washington, and his special caregiver, Monica Elkins.
   
   In addition to his parents, Attorney Lavelle W. Clark, Sr. and Annie Ruth Clark, he leaves to rejoice in his memory: three brothers and three sisters-in law, Lavelle, Jr. and Jeanette, Jerome and Juanita, and Duane and Joann; five nieces; seven nephews; six great nieces and nephews; two great aunts; one great uncle; many cousins, and friends.
   
   I could not stay another day to laugh, to love, to work or play. Tasks left undone must stay that way.
