[Artemisia] sad news... another lost

[HL Isabeau de Sevingy]

It is with immense sadness that I write this missive.
 
Late yesterday, Holly Beth Smith, known in the SCA as Aurora Chakir bint Fareed ibin Chiraagh "Mina", passed away from injuries sustained in a car accident. Holly is survived by the love of her life, Rich Bullock, known in the SCA as Lord Bjarni Njalson.
 
Newer players may not have had the honor of meeting Mina, as she and Bjarni had spent the past few years taking a break from everyday SCA activities in order to get settled into their new life together.
 
Mina will be remembered for her kind heart and lovely middle-eastern dancing. Even those who did not know her personally, were enthralled as she danced in the firelight at the Dark Thunder camp. Many also delighted in her intricate headresses, which displayed her wealth of delicate butterfly jewlery. She had a generous spirit and loving soul, she will be missed.
 
Services will be held this Thursday at noon at the Russon Brothers Mortuary in Salt Lake City. All are asked to arrive by 11:45am, however, those wishing to have a private moment with Holly are invited to do so between 10:45am and 11:45am. Please do not arrive prior to 10:45am as Holly's immediate family requests some privacy before recieving guests. This will be a closed-casket ceremony and out of respect for the family, mundane dress only, please no garb. 
 
Russon Brothers is located at 255 S 200 E in downtown Salt Lake City. 
 
Bjarni has requested that condolences and inquiries be sent via email to richbull at comcast.net
