[Artemisia] A sad loss

[John Lawler]

Greetings good friends of the list and others not on here,

It is with a very heavy heart that I must be the bearer of sad news. M'lord 
Roibeard MacCarthaigh was killed in an accident yesterday evening. Many of 
you may or may not know this man as he was a fairly new player. He and his 
wife Abigail were originally from Crystal Crags but had moved to Otherhill 
last year. Roibeard was a good friend and he will be missed in my heart, my 
life and by my side on the battle field. He is survived by his wife- 
Abigail, step-son- DJ 12, and his son Gabriel-1-1/2. The family will need 
help from their SCA family physically, emotionally and monetarily. Our Shire 
members are taking a collection to send to help with funeral expenses and 
anything else. Please reach out to your populace members and see if you can 
do something to help. I will have more info of where to send donations as 
soon as I can. Their mundane names are Dave and Aleta McNeely, Rock Springs, 
Wy.

Personal note: As the tears flow as I write this I am reminded of the day 
two years ago at Barbarian Bash when I Ely married these two individuals 
into a union unbreakable by man. It was a beautiful ceremony(if i do say so 
myself), and I was proud that they chose me to perform their wedding. And I 
am also proud to be the godfather of his son Gabriel.

Thank you good people for all that you can do,

Lord Ely of Silver Oak
Squire to Qadi Dahoud

An Irishman is never drunk as long as he can still hold on to one blade of 
grass and not fall off the face of the earth!
