  • Memorial: Dorothy J. Heydt

    This is just notice. I don't expect anyone to actually show up,
    but you (collectively) are welcone to so.

    Per her wishes, there will be a Memorial Mass for Dorothy J.

    my deepest sympathies.

    I would be there if I could.

    [Hal Heydt]
    Thank you.

    I'm only having it--belatedly--done because it was one of her
    final wishes. The other two (taking care of the cats for the
    rest of their natural lives and trying to stay alive until all
    the grandchildren are adults) will simply take time.

    I had always hoped to meet Dorothy (and you). I wish I could attend.

    Well...I expect to be around for some years yet. I promised her
    to try to stick around until all the grandchildren are adults.
    The youngest is 3, so the goal is another 18 years.

    One touching point is that, after losing the Clockwork Alchemy
    con for two years (2020 and 2021), at the 2022 con they were
    still able to get the intended GoH from the 2020 effort: Particia
    Wrede. She and Dorothy got time to sit and chat. They had
    coressponded for about 30 years, but never met before then. It
    was the last con Dorothy ever went to.

    As that is 3:00AM on Sunday here in Oz, I shall pour a libation to her
    memory on Saturday night.

    Cheers,

    That's kind of you. I should probably note that she didn't drink
    alcohol. (Not a moral stance, it gave her nausea.)
