Tonight the memorial was held in game for Tod, and I must say it was not only wonderful to have a group of his friends gathered together, but it was beautiful to hear the kind words that were said ..

Stormy Nightz says, "Friends... it is truly a sad occasion that we are gathering here..."

Stormy Nightz says, "but rather than mourn Stupefied, I believe he would want us to celebrate his life"

Stormy Nightz says, "I had the honor of getting to know him but not as well as I am sure most of you did"

Stormy Nightz says, "I welcome you all to share your stories, memories or however you wish to pay honor to this wonderful person"

Stormy Nightz says, "who would like to begin..."

Laris Bloodsong says, "may i ?"

Laris Bloodsong says, "I met him in game a few years back"

Laris Bloodsong says, "3 years or so really"

Laris Bloodsong says, "didnt know him that well, but i knew apollo, and DK, and thru them met him in game"

Laris Bloodsong says, "i went to the first SE SC meet in florida"

Laris Bloodsong says, "he was there "

Laris Bloodsong says, "very shy, very quiet, till you got him slighty alone"

Laris Bloodsong says, "he was a true gentlemen"

Laris Bloodsong says, "just a plain nice guy, willing to help others around him, and listen to them"

Laris Bloodsong says, "he was much more outspoken in game"

Laris Bloodsong says, "being painfully shy in RL, his ability to talk people thru things and help them in game was astounding"

Laris Bloodsong says, "ive never met someone like him before"

Laris Bloodsong says, "and talking to DK and apollo, he was the same in RL as he was in game"

Laris Bloodsong says, "the world is a little darker for him having traveled on "

Laris Bloodsong says, "thank you"

Stormy Nightz says, "whoever would like to go next...."

Hai Youhi says, "If i may..."

Hai Youhi says, "I knew Stupe and Apollo from our days in the Xearo clan - but not well... it wasn't unitl after he left the game"

Hai Youhi says, "pretty much that I began talking to him on the boards and MSN"

Hai Youhi says, "it was unbelieveable to me that he was so young"

Hai Youhi says, "he was witty, mature, kind and such a good listener"

Hai Youhi says, "he was the person I think we would ALL like to be"

Hai Youhi says, "I am proud to have called him my friend, and I think he would have called me one as well, we helped each other and laughed a LOT"

Hai Youhi says, "I will miss him much and send him my love =)"

Stormy Nightz says, "please feel free to just speak

"

Aon Mixed says, "may i?"

Stormy Nightz says, "of course"

Aon Mixed says, "Stupefied embodied the name he chose..."

Aon Mixed says, "his actions and behaviors spoke louder than any of our words"

Aon Mixed says, "in the course of the last few days since his passing, his actions have further served to bring many people together,"

Aon Mixed says, "as he did in real life, in game, and other places"

Aon Mixed says, "godspeed, fair winds and following seas stupe"

Aon Mixed says, "in the finest tradition of all Champions of Dereth, i do indeed salute the fallen hero, Stupefied."

Tyger Enforcer says, "may I ?"

You say, "Ofc Tyger"

Tyger Enforcer says, "I didnt know Stupe real well but I knew him well enough to know we would always be friends"

Tyger Enforcer says, "I have alot of friends in game but some stand out more then others"

Tyger Enforcer says, "Stupe was one that stood tall in that respect"

Tyger Enforcer says, "I knew that if I needed someone to talk with I could talk with him as he did visa versa even tho he wouldnt "

Tyger Enforcer says, "My prayers are with his mom and family and his friends that they will realize that Stupe hasnt gone he is just watching over us in a better way now"

Tyger Enforcer says, "Now he can protect us all "

Tyger Enforcer says, "God take care of our dear friend"

Stormy Nightz smiles

Tyger Enforcer says, "We know he is taking care of us now and we miss him but he is with us always Amen"

Arabella stands shyly.

Arabella says, "Stupe was everything you have mentioned and more."

Arabella says, "I knew him more on the boards than in game. On the boards the PM's would fly."

Arabella says, "He saw the shy woman I am and talked to me and talked to me until he gave me the courage to go to the ACPL and meet real people."

Arabella says, "The people I met have become friends IRL and here. I can never thank him enough for understanding how hard it is to be shy."

Arabella says, "Just one of the many ways he helped me."

Arabella says, "Farewell, friend."

Mancubus says, "did not know him..came to pay respects..glad i did this place is beautiful"

Vamp man says, "may i"

You say, "ofc"

Stormy Nightz says, "certainly =)"

Vamp man says, "I never knew stupe"

Vamp man says, "I am here to honour the memory of a class act that we should all aspire to emulate"

Vamp man says, "his reputation has never been questioned & I wish I had gotten to know him."

You say, "I guess I'll go"

You say, "I remember the day Tod introduced himself to me .. I wasnt havin a very good day, so I just kinda paid him no mind .."

You say, "I was actually going through a really hard time in my RL ~ The next day, he talked to me again .. and again and again as the days went by .."

You say, "I found out he wasnt gonna give up .. he knew I was very sad at the time, and he wanted to help make me happy .."

You say, "After I let him in my life .. was when I realized .. I had let an angel into my life. He was without a doubt, the most kind hearted person I had ever met"

You say, "He was a bit shy at first, but me being the loud mouth I am , he opened up to me and we got to know each other really really well .."

You say, "We spent *many* hours talkin .. sharing things with each other .. and gettin to know each other .."

You say, "I have NEVER known another person like him .. and I never will."

You say, "He always took to heart the feelings of everyone else, and wanted everyone to be happy, even if that meant he might not get to be happy ..."

You say, "I know hes in heaven now .. and I know hes watchin down on each one of us .. He was just an angel in disguise here on earth"

Arabella smiles sadly and nods.

You say, "Tod, you'll forever be, not only missed by many, but loved by many as well! And I thank you Tod, for all the smiles you gave me ~ you'll never be forgotten."

Stormy Nightz wipes a tear

Stormy Nightz says, "someone else?"

Redyk says, "I would just like to say one thing."

Redyk says, "We are all saddened by Stupes passing as he was par tof our community, and part of our AC family."

Redyk says, "And I would just like to say to everyone here to keep your family and loved ones close, as we never know when we might lose them."

Stormy Nightz nods

Aon Mixed salutes.

Hai Youhi says, "The fact that an 18, 19...20 year old so profoundly impacted so many people is tribute to the kind of person Tod was....truly amazing...."

Stormy Nightz says, "I knew Tod more from the boards than ingame and he struck me as a much older soul trapped in a young man's body...."

Stormy Nightz says, "His wisdom and maturity were far beyond his years."

Stormy Nightz says, "There isn't much more I can add that hasn't already been said but I would like to say this..."

Stormy Nightz says, "Tod often struck me as sad"

Stormy Nightz says, "and it was a sadness that made me always want to reach out to him."

Stormy Nightz says, "He told me of his fears and I would now just like to say.... Your fears are gone, my young friend"

Stormy Nightz says, "and as Celine Dion said in her song... Fly, Fly my little friend, far beyond this world of ours"

Stormy Nightz says, "and find peace everlasting..."

Stormy Nightz says, "We well all see you again someday."

Azu Jai says, "what do you say about someone who means the world to so many"

Azu Jai says, "I honestly can't believe he's gone"

Azu Jai says, "Tod was part of my family and we love him more than we ever told him while he was on this earth."

Azu Jai says, "Jason, Mike, Joey, Casey, Kevin, and myself he will be truely missed"

Azu Jai says, "an Angel on earth and an angel in heaven"

Azu Jai says, "I'm astounded by all the people he's touched and continues to"

Azu Jai says, "he will never ever be forgotten"

Tyger Enforcer says, "Godspeed friend and to those of us still here take a little of stupe with you where ever you may go

Hai Youhi says, "ty all for a wonderful memorial to a special man...and friend"

You say, "I'd like to close with a poem I found today.

You say, ""Miss Me - But Let Me Go""

You say, "When I come to the end of the road,"

You say, "And the sun has set me free ..."

You say, "I want no rites in a gloom filled room .."

You say, "Why cry for a soul set free?"

You say, "Miss me a little - but not too long,"

You say, "And not with your head bowed low"

You say, "Remember the love that we once shared,"

You say, "Miss me - but let me go,"

You say, "For this journey that we all must take,"

You say, "and each must go alone"

You say, "Its all a part of the Masters plan"

You say, "A step on the road home"

You say, "When you are lonely and sick at heart"

You say, "Go to the hills we know"

You say, "And bury your sorrow among the trees"

You say, "Miss me - but let me go"

You say, "....Rest In Peace Tod ~ We love you!!"
