Sibylla Penrose of Netherhays
awards:
Award of Arms, 28 Dec AS 26/1991
Memoria:
From Quentin Martel
Sibylla was a doer. She had a strength of character and a way with words that let you know under no uncertain circumstances what she expected out of you and where you stood with her. For her friends, she would stand between you and trouble like a shield and never think twice about herself in the process.
She was truely a noble lady. Receiving a Porte Chalice - Porte de l'Eau's highest honor - is testimony to this simple fact.
My first memory of Sybilla was receiving a phone call from her, It seems I had talked to her previously but I did not remember. I pretended I knew what she was talking about, hoping I could figure it out as she rambled on, when she shouted, "You don't know who the hell I am or what the hell I am talking about do you?!" I had to admit it was true.
I talked with her many times between that day and the day she passed, the last time just three days prior to her leaving us.
I said good bye to her on a sunny day in May of 1995, at her funeral I read a Eulogy I had written for her.
I still miss her.
