In Memory Of Cassi & Jolinda |
 |
 |
| In a service officiated by Micwolf and Kalira, many people gathered to honor the memory of Cassi and her sister Jolinda, and to express their deeply held feelings. Lost to us into the gentle hands of Eylhaar, they will nonetheless not be forgotten, and will be remembered with love and affection for what they brought to Elanthia, and for how many lives they touched in their time here. Cassi always had something to share, be it a smile, a kind word, her time and experience, or her joy and wonder in life. Many spoke in rememberence of the sisters; following is a selection of their thoughts: | ||||
From her husband, Redtail: I know a lot of you all and have seen your faces for a long time. A young elf named Cassi came into my life over fifteen years ago. She always said she chased me till I got her. She was my friend, my wife and my purpose for being here, but her soul was the biggest I have ever known. I thank you all for honoring her this way. From Sunnie: I regret the unexplored possibilities, the chances never taken. I regret the time I never spent to get to know her better. But knowing her as I do, and through listening to many of you, I know with certainty that she will guide the steps of those she loves and watch over the hearts of those she touched, always. Blessed are those of you who have such a soul for a guardian. From Kerai: The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a hammock and swing with, never say a word, and then walk away, feeling it was the best conversation you ever had. Cassi, to me, was one of those sorts of friends. ... Two days ago, I heard this marvelous quote...on how to live your life. 'When you are born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life, so that when you die, you're the one who is smiling, and everyone around you is crying.' She has succeeded in that. And I feel treasured to have known her as long as I did. From Freye: I was always taught that one's life was the hearts they touched, the souls they helped to grow, and the joy they gave. I can see in all the eyes here that Cassi.. our Cassi.. gave all that and more. She was always an example of what is good in our land. I will miss her kindness. From Chadda: I can't really say that I'll miss Cassi... only because the hole that is left in my heart by her passing is filled with memories of our times together. |
From Lucymarie: Redtail, we love you. And we share with you the loss of the wonder and joy she brought into all our lives, but mostly yours. Her face fairly lit up whenever you came to town. The little elven lass you married had a heart of gold bigger than anyone could imagine. From Kalira: Cassi was someone who loved Elanthia. The magic that was here was special for her. She enjoyed showing new adventurers the same magic she saw even before she became a member of the Mentor Society. Cassi mentored in her own way. She always had a smile, smooch or just a hello to everyone. She was my friend and I will miss her and the magic that was Cassi. I will miss her more than I thought I could. From Micwolf: Let us try to remember our friend, Cassi, in a joyful light. To remember the laughter she brought into each of our lives, the kind heart and helping hand she showed many young in these lands, and the warm hug when you were down and ever attentive ear when you needed a friend. Let us remember Cassi as she was, and not let our sorrow shadow her bright light. From Artianna: I would like each of us to go out into the lands remembering that each time we help someone, each time we teach a new person, that a little bit of Cassi is passed on each day. Her light will continue to burn bright in the lands, continuing her positive works and kindness. Kalira, Ailyssa, Starlighte, Shenney, Sunnie, Wyett and Micwolf expressed additional sentiments in verse or song, some of which were written personally to honor Cassi's life. Cassi is survived by her husband Redtail, and many friends and relatives, as well as her fellow Mentors. She will be remembered in the spirit of her life... in joy. |
