<div>Here is a statement from Sandra:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am Sandra Malibu Sweeney and Evan Clark was my only child and my beloved son.  This last week Evan was taken from me, and my level of grief feels insurmountable. I find myself at a complete loss to imagine a life without him. It is a small comfort to share some things about this boy who was on his way to becoming a wonderful man.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Evan wasn’t a typical teenager.  He was funny, bright, kind and entrepreneurial.  He was an old soul who was sensitive and loving. Evan wrote me letters, the last of which he gave me on Mother’s Day that was so touching it made me both laugh and cry.  He was special.  He deserved a long life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Evan enjoyed working at Crumbl Cookies, going to concerts, photography, cars and trips to Malibu, CA.  Evan attended Rancho Solano where he was a popular student and enjoyed wonderful faculty and friends.  He then attended Veritas Prep where he made additional strong friendships and played on the football team.  Evan spent his final school year at Arcadia High School where he flourished socially.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The outpouring of concern from these communities has meant so very much to me.  I sincerely thank every person who has reached out to offer compassion and sympathy. The kindness I have been shown has touched me greatly. Thank you all.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>“Let go of the past, let go of the future, let go of the present, and cross to the far shore. With the mind and body liberated, you shall suffer no more.”
