Dear Atlantia,

I am writing this missive on behalf of Duke Valharic.  He wanted me to relay to everyone his sincerest gratitude for all of the messages of love and support that have been sent his way.  He also wanted to share with everyone his wishes for the arrangements being made for Duchess Arielle.  It is the family’s intent to have a memorial service in mid August (meaning…after Pennsic).  He recognizes how dearly loved his wife is and wanted as many people who would want to and could be a part of her celebration of life to have that opportunity.  There will be more specific details forthcoming. 

It is also His Grace’s intent to be at Pennsic.  He said that he wants to be with his friends and family and to be at a place where he is surrounded by the people who understand.  He knows that there, he can be with the people he needs, talk to the people he wants and be alone when he needs to be.

He is on his way back to Charlotte where he will spend a few days and then he will go to Ohio to see his mother.  From there he will meet us20at Pennsic.

Regards,

Aryanna

Greetings,
With the passing of Her Grace this morning, a few questions of come up in regards to the private fundraising efforts in progress to faciliate covering the medical expenses for Duchess Arielle.  We would ask that those efforts continue as the total costs of the expenses incurred during Her time of treatment at MD Anderson are still unknown.  Any monies rasied in these efforts and not needed by His Grace Valhalric, will be donated Arielle's name to the Susan G Komen Foundation.  
Any one raising money should contact Her Excellency Countess Aryanna (TaraMcD at juno.com) for coordination and getting the money to His Grace. 
Please cross post as you see fit.
Thank you,
Alesia



Actually, emails can be sent to this addy at countessaryanna at yahoo.com since that is what I've used to help keep track of our efforts.  If you use the one below, that will work too.  I hope that those of you who have planned a fundraising effort will continue with your intent.  If you would like to mail a donation, please send it to me in the form of a check written out to Her Grace's mundane name which is Courtney Hester.  Mail to me and I can deposit directly into their account:

Tara McDonough
9706 Early Spring Way
Columbia, MD 21046 

I know everyone is grieving but know that you are not alone.


Aryanna

Atlantia,



It is with very sad 
hearts that we write to you today. Atlantia has lost one
of its most loved members. Duchess Arielle the Golden passed away this
morning after a nine year battle with cancer. She was undergoing treatment
in Houston, Texas at MD Anderson hospital. 

At this time, arrangements are still being made and information will be
provided as We know more. We ask that you please give Duke Valharic space
during this difficult time. Please continue to send cards or other
correspondence to Mistress Alesia, Kingdom Seneschal. 



Thank you,

Logan and Esa
Rex and Regina
