The CL stands for Chris Lopez, a Yreka teen, who died unexpectedly while competing in a cross country track meet last month. I've witnessed the out pouring of love and compassion this town expressed for him and his grieving family. This small tribute is atop the reservoir at Greenhorn park where I walk with Ramona each morning. Seeing it is a daily reminder of how fragile life is and that people do AND can care. Something with all the vitriolic occurances in the news one tends to forget.

Thank you for taking the picture of that. Chris was my son. I ran there a week or so after his death and saw that up there. Made me cry, but what an amazing community we come from. The outpouring of prayers, well wishes, and donations were and are so appreciated. Chris's beautiful, young life was way to short, but what an impressive legacy he left. I am so proud of him, in death as I was in his life.
