Even the hardiest tree may lose a branch to the flowing river. So do I
diminish into the unknown. It has been my greatest pleasure to walk the
paths of my life amongst such admirable persons. I wish you all the best
of luck in your endeavours. To my most faithful and loved - the Sylvanic
Fellowship - I offer you the hope that I have carried in my heart for
all of my life...the hope and the belief that if you truly wish for
something, and truly work for it, it may be accomplished.

Study hard, tend Nature well, and perk your ears to hear Change on the
wind. It is always beckoning, as it beckons me now.

For my family I have no words but to say that I love you all with every
fibre of my being. Now I ask that you forget me, and continue as you
should - prosperous and strong.
