I'm certain I will never write a sadder post than this.
Our beloved secretary and dear friend of almost 6 years, Lily Carpena, died Monday night after a four month illness.
It is human nature to exaggerate when eulogizing, but it is no exaggeration to say that Lily was one of the kindest, most selfless persons I have ever known. Her decency, honesty, good cheer and warm goodwill toward everyone was unwavering and extraordinary; and continued even in the face of this unspeakably cruel and capricious twist of fate that ended her life so prematurely.
She was only 30.

With rue my heart is laden, For golden friends I had, Many a rose-lipped maiden, Many a light-foot lad. By streams too wide for leaping, The light-foot lads are laid. The rose-lipped maids lie sleeping, In fields where roses fade. A.E. Housman |
