Requiem for a Friend

If this picture had music, it would be a single, clear note; a tone calling the angels to welcome home one of their own.



The sun shines not on us, but in us. John Muir

Clay was a rare man; a man who used love, wisdom and compassion to change lives for the better. He was a beacon of light for the troubled, and a shelter in a storm. He was the very embodiment of serenity. He was a true friend, supportive, consistent, ever-present, ever-loved. Even in the face of his final battle, he lived with grace and joy. He made a larger impact in this small world than he will ever know, and will live on in the hearts of many for decades to come. You will be missed, my friend.
