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.
 
I offer these words as my tribute to her:
 
 
SHE'LL ALWAYS BE A QUEEN
 
 
Though many a maiden fair
 
may sit the throne on high
 
and many a Lady's name become renowned
 
and when the minstrels sing
 
their rhymes will tell of one
 
who sparkled like the jewels of her crown.
 
 
 
Her eyes reflect her spirit
 
and goodness filled her heart
 
her beauty was a wonder to be seen
 
her grace is everlasting
 
may heaven bless her soul
 
in our eyes she'll always be a Queen.
 
 
 
A Kingdom shone in splendor
 
as an angel came to earth
 
magnificence her reign throughout the land
 
love is given meaning
 
with this touch of light
 
bringing joy and pleasure on command
 

 
She filled our days with laughter
 
and casts away our tears
 
could she be what love and beauty mean
 
though many will succeed her
 
her gifts shall be eternal
 
in our hearts she'll always be a Queen.
