[MR] More Sad News

[Sharon Henderson]

Your Grace,

Thank you for letting us know of the passing of this great lady; may
Deity be with you in your own grief, and may that which you have
wished for others be granted to you as well.

What a lovely tribute you have penned to her!  Anyone might wish to be
worthy of such a tribute, and we should rejoice that we have such a
one to emulate.  May she always be remembered thus!

Blessings,
Meli

>  It is with profound sadness that I inform our Kingdom of the loss of a Queen. Duchess Aslinn Shattenwald OR, OL (MKA Susan Parker) left this mortal world this past night. She passed suddenly and as yet I have few details and little information, nor wishes of her husband and immediate family. Whatever the particulars we have lost a jewel who twice sat upon our Throne. I know that today, though, she sits with our Lord, perfect and in Grace. I ask that those who knew her remember her fondly and say your prayers for her family that their bereavement is short, their sorrow is tolerable and their memories are joyous. Though we have been divorced for many years we had a good relationship and I am sad.
