This page is dedicated to the memory of one of the best friends I can ever remember having, Roger Michael Shard.

He died on Sunday, March 29, 1998 in Malaga Spain from trauma brought about in an automobile accident. They had been on their way to the airport, on his way back from an extended vacation. His cousin, Michael Hamilton, was also killed. Roger as 21 years old.

Rog, wherever you are........*sighs*

We'll miss you.......

"Dante's Prayer"

"Though we share this humble path; alone.
How fragile is the heart?
I'll give these clay feet wings to fly.
To touch, the face of the stars.
Breathe life into this feeble heart,
Lift this mortal veil of fear.
Take these crumbled hopes, etched with tears
We'll rise above these earthly cares.

Cast your eyes on the ocean,
Cast your soul to the sea,
When the dark night seems endless.........
Please Remember Me."

-Loreena McKennitt
