Thank you all for coming. We have gathered tonight, in a difficult time when we are asked to part with Clelia Lucretia Vantier.

==A recount of the life of Clelia Lucretia Vantier==

She leaves behind a terrible void… 
Recently her love for and engagement with Sir Baron Braiden Mistlemantle was announced. 
With her loss, a great love leaves this physical plane.

==Words of comfort to the mourning==

Loosing someone dear to us, is a difficult emotion. We are left with a difficult question. Why has her Light been taken from us?
We are left with sadness. Bereft of her Light our world seems to have darkened. 
But the emotion is more complex than just the feeling of loss. We are confronted with how much she meant to us. In that we also find how valuable her life was to those around her. And that is why we gathered here, to honor the lifetime that we shared, and express our gratitude for the Light she has been to us.


==Words of the guests==

Take heart that we have all gathered here to share these difficult times. As we share this emotion, so has the Light revealed how dear Lady Clelia was to us. Let us find strength this way and take comfort in each other's presence, warmth.. and words.

;Voice 1
:It were a very sad day. It were a mournful day,
:A treasure was lost: a woman had passed away, 
;Voice 2
:In brief darkness her soul wandered, lost, alone,
:When a warm Light appeared and brightly shone

;Voice 1
:An angel of Light she had found and so they spoke,
:"Are you an angel? Will you bring warmth and hope?"
;Voice 2
:"Is your spirit troubled, are you lost my child?"
;Voice 1
:"Yes, for I have parted from family and love mild.
:Angel of Light, who knows the way in this world,
:Will you carry me away in your arms as foretold?"

;Voice 2
:The Angel shone bright, her voice cleared still,
:She reached a hand and said "come if you will",
;Voice 1
:Comforted by her chanting and soothing sounds.
:They parted from life's sorrows and its bounds.
