So often I cannot wait until the sun goes down so that I can once again grab my pillow and be enveloped in conversation, laughter and hugs with Stafford. Sometimes I have to play head games with myself and "pretend" he is "across the pond" involved in a performance where there are no phones or internet and I can only wait for him to return and call me again. I have good days where I feel him nearby and then there are days of deep blue mixed with other colors of longing. I continually pray for the strength to adjust to the void of his brightness. Believe me, I am grateful to have had him for 36 years and to have so many wonderful memories of his antics, energy, creativity and a zillion glimpses of his generosity, caring and empathy. He will eternally be loved, remembered and missed.

In addition to Stafford's gifts to the world, Stuart and Kara gave the world a set of twins, Graeme Stafford Clark-Price and Isobel Sara Clark-Price, born 10/23/2013.  There are no words sufficient to express the joy of being a grandmother again!
