It is with great sadness that I must inform you that Lady *Caitlin*
*Deirdre* of Errelyn, MKA Deirdre Shaw, after a courageous and painful
battle with cancer is finally at peace.
Deirdre was admitted to Hospice on Thursday and passed in her sleep at
5:22 AM today. She was surrounded by loving family and friends at all times.
Lady Caitlin will always be remembered for her skill with chocolate, her
fencing, but especially her generosity and the selfless time she took
with newbies.
Details will follow for the Memorial Services.
Please take this time to remember Caitlin and hug your family and friends.
I leave you with a Celtic Blessing:
*May the blessing of light be on you, light without and light within.*
*May the blessed sunlight shine upon you and warm your heart till it
glows,*
*Like a great peat fire, so that the stranger may come*
*and warm himself at it, as well as the friend.*
*And may the light shine out of the eyes of you,*
*like a candle set in the windows of a house,*
*Bidding the wanderer to come in out of the storm.*
*And may the blessing of the rain be on you - the soft sweet rain.*
*May it fall upon your spirit so that all the little flowers may spring
up,*
*And shed their sweetness on the air.*
*And may the blessing of the great rains be on you,*
*that they beat upon your spirit and wash it fair and clean,*
*and leave there many a shining pool, and sometimes a star.*
*And may the blessing of the earth be on you - the great round earth;*
*May you ever have a kindly greeting for people you pass as you are
going along the roads.*
*And now may the Lord bless you, and bless you kindly.*
**
*Flight of angels, my sister, flights of angels,*
*Pax,*
*Brother Bobby*
