Our beloved Lady Phoenix passed from this earth this morning to be with her creator.
She was also known as Sneaky Sue, GhostRider, Big John, Penelope, Fletcher and Deadly Shadow. As Shakespeare wrote "What's in a name? that which we call a rose, By any other name would smell as sweet" The same could be said for our Lady Phoenix, for she was without any doubt the sweetest, kindest, soul on Legends shard.
She was an 11 year veteran of Ultima Online and to quote Lady Pho “Been playing this game of UO since December of 1997 long time ago. But at times seems like yesterday. I am just an ole lady that loves the game, and the people.”
The people of Legends loved her as well. She loved to do kind things for people on Legends but always anonymously. I will forever remember her saying “Don’t tell them it’s from me”. That’s simply how she was she didn’t want accolades for her kindness.
She was an active participant in many of the Legends events and Legends player run events. Her name is in the book on the beach where Legends players fought the great evil in 2004. She had a reserved seat at the T*T Auction House. Her guild hosted several net tosses and events. She was so much a part of Legends shard and we will miss her so very, very much. Her memory will forever burn bright in the hearts and minds of those who knew and loved her. With that I leave you with some fitting words I hope will convey our feelings for Lady Phoenix.

A butterfly lights beside us like a sunbeam
And for a brief moment its glory
and beauty belong to our world
But then it flies again
And though we wish it could have stayed...
We feel lucky to have seen it.

Remembered Joy
Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free!
I follow the plan God laid for me.
I saw His face, I heard His call,
I took His hand and left it all…
I could not stay another day,
To love, to laugh, to work or play;
Tasks left undone must stay that way.
And if my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss…
Ah yes, these things I, too, shall miss.
My life’s been full, I’ve savoured much:
Good times, good friends, a loved-one’s touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief—
Don’t shorten yours with undue grief.
Be not burdened with tears of sorrow,
Enjoy the sunshine of the morrow.
(Old Irish Poem)
Do Not Stand At My Grave And Weep
By Mary Elizabeth Frye
Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am in a thousand winds that blow,
I am the softly falling snow.
I am the gentle showers of rain,
I am the fields of ripening grain.
I am in the morning hush,
I am in the graceful rush
Of beautiful birds in circling flight,
I am the starshine of the night.
I am in the flowers that bloom,
I am in a quiet room.
I am in the birds that sing,
I am in each lovely thing.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there. I do not die.
