A great loss...


On February 9th, 2008, my friend Steve Clark was murdered in the parking lot of a club in North Hollywood, California. From that moment forward, my life has drastically changed. It is still difficult for me to accept the fact that he is gone. Not only did I lose a great friend, but I lost a part of my life. Steve had impacted my life in so many ways. He helped me to stay sober, he was the most dependable friend I have ever had, and he introduced me to people that I love very deeply. There are so many more things to say about Steve but I feel that nothing will really do justice to expressing the huge loss that his death brought. I will probably add to this post in the future, but I just wanted to pay homage to a great friend who will always live on in spirit. We may leave our flesh bodies behind, but our energy will always continue to exist. Steve is alive in all those who were touched by his love and graciousness.
