From the discarded notes of Reverend Jonah Miles:

It is always difficult for a family to lose a child, a true tragedy when one is taken away before their life can truly begin. With the atrocities of the war ending and people returning home, it was almost unthinkable that God would call someone like her to Him. The timing almost doubly tragic; she was soon to be married. But we must not question His divine will. We must accept what has come to pass and provide our support to those close to her who will be gathering in her memory tomorrow.

“For her, the fair and debonair, that now so lowly lies,
The life upon her yellow hair but not within her eyes –
The life still there, upon her hair – the death upon her eyes.”

– Lenore, Edgar Allan Poe
