Family is grateful for assistance and prayers

It is impossible to thank each and every individual who assisted in the search and safe return of our son, Matthew Clark. So many people gave of their time and effort to help.

We would like to extend thanks to everyone from the anonymous person who spotted Matthew in Grand Central Station, New York City, to all others involved — detectives; state and local police, fire and first aid squads; the Salvation Army; corrections officers; Air Search and Rescue; search dogs; and other organizations from all over the state which we may have omitted.

To area businesses, family members, friends, countless neighbors and other people who came to our aid and offered their prayers, we can only say thank you and God bless you from the bottom of our hearts.

Laura and Gilbert Clark
