I will miss you Your Grace.

Today we lost a fine Scadian and an even better Atlantian.

Duchess Arielle the Golden was taken by her long battle with cancer. She fought the good fight. She had friends and family that loved her and even more people who were cheering her on from the sidelines.

I've lost a little piece of myself.

She and Val were the Crown that elevated me to the Order of the Laurel on July 14, 2007. My eyes are filling up even as I write this. I'll spend the rest of my SCA days doing my best to live up to the confidence she had in me and the potential she saw in me.

This is the way I will always remember her from the day of my elevation-

Arielle is among my favorite queens, and not just because I got both my GD and Pearl from her. I liked her because she took herself just seriously enough, but never more than that. She saw humor in nearly everything and wasn't afraid to share it.

Me too. I heralded this court for Her, and it was such a joy and a pleasure to work with her. She always knew my name after that and greeted me with a beaming smile that made me feel welcome. This is also how I will always remember Her.
