[Ansteorra] Ansteorra Digest, Vol 34, Issue 6

[Chelsea Durham]

My lady, The weather was cold, and the wind cut through us ruthlessly. Many were huddled together for consolation. Some that usually fight weren't fighting, myself among them. I believe that practice went on as long as it could, and we all gathered together at a favourite "watering hole." Some arrived early to escape the cold and wind. Some arrived later. All drank to his honour, courage, nobility, and wonder as a father and husband. We shed tears. He may be gone, but he will not be forgotten. We pray (to whatever deity) for your comfort and strength, and the comfort and strength for the rest of his family. We love you all dearly. -Lady Grainne Kathleen NicPadraig MacDaniel
