[Artemisia] A sad loss

[Becki Child]

My condolences to Roibeard's family and to his many friends.  I knew him and Aleta for awhile when they were here in Crystal Crags.  He always had a smile that was contagious and a quick laugh.  We missed it when they moved, but knew that they would return and visit often., so the parting wasn't as half as bad.   But now . . . . .  May the angels carry his soul to heaven and may God encircle those who mourn in His ever-loving arms.
