Molineaux, mka Jeff Girard, died yesterday on Thanksgiving in his sleep<SPAN
class=437383100-29112009>, one day short of his 42nd
birthday</SPAN>. Jeff had spent many of the past years in constant
pain from back and neck problems, and had been told recently that his condition
had gotten to the point where surgery was no longer an option, and he would
have to continue living as he was. Jeff saw his doctor on Wednesday, and
the doctor gave him a different type of pain medication to start using (some
kind of patch is what I've been told). Jeff took the medication yesterday
and laid down to rest before Thanksgiving dinner. When his father went to
wake him, <SPAN class=437383100-29112009>Henri</SPAN> was already
cold. Paramedics were called, but there was nothing they could do and he
was pronounced.</FONT></FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=875402303-28112009><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I'd known Jeff since
the <SPAN class=437383100-29112009>seven</SPAN>th Grade, and my Lady Anne
had known him since first. He was always a good friend, one who always had
your back and was loved to laugh and make people smile. <SPAN
class=437383100-29112009>He faced more adversity than anyone I know, and yet his
optimism and hope never flagged one bit. </SPAN>He loved fencing and SCA
with all his being, and was trying to make his way back into the Society he
loved. Sadly, like so many of his hopes and dreams, life did not allow him
his glory.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
