A sad day


*sigh* Today was not a good day. A good friend passed away yesterday; I got the news this morning. His name was Dan Lewis (for those of you in the SCA, Lochlainn Macgregor). He could be incredibly crusty at times, but I suspect that was a sort of test to see if we would come back, because as it turns out he was the definition of honor and friendship. He was a better friend than I would've expected for the short time I knew him, and he will be missed.


I am not a religious person, but I feel this warrants a memoriam:
God, full of compassion, dwelling on High, grant perfect rest under the sheltering wings of Your Presence to the one who has passed…. May their soul be bound up in the bond of life. Adonai is their portion. May they rest in peace.
(el maleh rachamim)
Peace to you Lochlainn, and Marie (his widow); you deserve no less.
