David Tela was a good friend of mine and he took his life. At the time of Tela's death we were not talking much. My brother and he had a falling out over a female (what a mistake). What my brother and I didn't know was that Tela was so suicidal that he was practically screaming for help. His so-called friends that were around him did not take him serious. Tela felt there was no one he could talk to. That fateful day came on the first day of the new year 1997. A time for everyone to change his or her life. Tela did in the biggest way. What he did not think of was all the other lives he would also change. Now he is gone, and all we have left are memories. After his death I was lost, my feelings were killing me, I didn't know what to do. Some time past and I knew I had to change the way I was living. In his death he brought me to the light. I felt I had to do something to help those people that were thinking of or were in some way touched by suicide. This Car Club was born out of the pain of my loss, I dont want anyone to know the pain that I feel from suicides' touch on my life. What I want you to know is there is help, and I want to show you where to find it.
