My Lady,<br><br>
I am flattered that you think this lovely work is mine, but alas, it is
not. I was merely responding to the author, to say I liked the piece. The
true author is HL Annes Clotilde von Barnburg. I am Ly. Anna bat Chaim. I
can see where the confusion came in - we have entirely too many Anns in
our kingdom! ;-)<br><br>
In Service,<br>
Ly. Anna<br><br>
P.S. I will indeed let Dona Antonia know you are thinking of
her.<br><br>

Lady Anna, I must agree, this piece is truly moving. I
am delighted to see such a beautiful piece but saddened at the
cirsumstances for which it has been written. Thank you for passing on the
news and please let her know that she is in our prayers. I did not know
Don Benedict, but your work truly makes me wish I did. <br>
Sincerely,<br>
Lyllianne<br><br>

<dd>My Lady,<br><br>
<dd>That is a truly moving piece. Thank you. And thank you for passing on
the news of Dona Antonia's loss. For those like me who knew it was
coming, but had not yet heard, it is an expected, but still painful bit
of news. I will contact her directly in a day or two with my condolences,
but in the meantime, please tell her that she and all her family are in
my thoughts and prayers. If you are able to, please let us know when the
funeral will be held, and if Antonia has any requests regarding the
sending of donations.<br><br>
<dd>Sincerely,
<dd>Ly. Anna bat Chaim<br><br>

<dd>My Friends,</font>
<dd> <font face="Comic Sans MS" size=2>
<dd>I'm sure you have all heard the sad news. Our former Kingdom Bard,
Dona Antonio, lost her husband and soulmate, Don Benedict in the early
morning hours of April 16 after a long battle with colon cancer.

<dd>As someone who considers herself a friend to Antonio, I am saddened
by the pain she must be feeling. </font>
<dd> <font face="Comic Sans MS" size=2>
<dd>As a historian, I am moved by the necessity to add another Fallen
Star to my never ending list of those who have played our Dream and gone
on to other Dreams in other planes of existance. </font>
<dd> <font face="Comic Sans MS" size=2>
<dd>As a bard, I feel the need to express some of what the man was and
meant to us in words. What follows is my attempt to satisfy all 3 urges
at the same time. </font>
<dd> <font face="Comic Sans MS" size=2>
<dd>Alden, you told me that you are turning your hand to putting together
a second volume of "Voices of the Star". I would be honored if
you might include this effort of mine to honor this man who meant so much
to so many.</font>
