Kind Gentles all:  It grieves me more than I can say to have to tell you that my loving wife of 19 years, Lady Dubessa   O'Fidhne  ( MKA Mary Ward) is dying.  As many of you know, Mary's leukemia came back this past winter.  She received a bone marrow transplant in June, and the transplant was completely successful.  However, while she was on immunmo-suppression drugs, she acquired a viral infection of her brain.  This particular infectious agent is one which nobody survives. 



    In order to have pass in the best possible manner, she will be coming home from the hospital on Friday, Dec 4.  I ask that you pray for peace for her, after such a long battle. 



After Mary's passing. a memorial/wake will be held here in Ogden, when I have myself together enough to arrange it.  



Mary cherished the experiences she shared with you, and I hope you cherish the memory of her.  



If anyone has pictures of her, please let me know where I can find them.
