Paul learned today of the death of Ashley Wynn. She was a frequent visitor to this messageboard, posting under the name polijn. She won a galley copy of A Sword From Red Ice and we emailed and back and forth. She was a lovely, bright and funny young woman. She’ll be missed.

She is survived by her three year old son and newborn daughter.

Paul and I are pretty sad. Our hearts go out to her family.

Thankyou kindly for passing the sad news on. It's so easy to forget the frailty of our life.

She was quite an active member of the forums and will be missed.

My sympathies go out to her very young family.

I'd like to thank all of you for your concerns. All of your comments are heartfelt and have been comforting to those of us close to Ashley. I apologize for not having posted something on this board sooner, as I know you all were fond of her, as well.
FYI, my name is Jeremy Lowry. Ashley was my best friend, my significant other, the love of my life. After giving birth to our second child, a beautiful little girl named Brannagh Kay Lowry, Ashley passed away on April 20 due to complications from the stress of childbirth.
Ashley was an exceptionally gifted girl with aspirations of writing professionally. I've posted a link to some of her stuff below. Please read and enjoy-that's what she wanted.

Dear Jeremy,

I hope that you and your family have the support and comfort you need. I cannot imagine what you must be going through. My heart goes out to you, and I pray that in time you will heal.

For Ashley, a poem from one of my favourite poets:
Do not stand at my grave and weep by Mary Frye

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you wake in the morning hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft starlight at night.

Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there, I did not die!

For you a line taken from Les Miserables "and remember the truth that once was spoken. To love another person is to see the face of God"

Oh that just sucks
My best wishes to the family Death at that age should be legally outlawed.

Thanks for stopping by and posting the link, Jeremy.

I hope you, Torcan and Brannagh are doing well.

Ashley was here right from the beginning. Her messages were always informative and entertaining, and she really helped to get this place off the ground. Needless to say, it will never be the same without her.

I just now saw this


Polijin was a great person I always enjoyed corresponding to her. I am sorry for your loss Jeremy.
