To us older players, Uthr Rhain was a friend, a confidant and someone you could count on in a pinch. To me, he was and is like a brother, and I love him.

When I first started on WoD, Uthr let me "bunk" with him in Rhain Tower, much the same way we were roommates in Arizona, and he taught me more than I can possibly remember about WoD. Quite possibly the best lesson he instilled in me was the fierce devotion and caring he had for this World of Dreams. When I would complain about the connection or some other inconsequential matter, he would gently (and sometimes not so gently) remind me that the staff of WoD do what they do for free, including the hosting, and those of us that call this place home are very fortunate to be able to share some time here with other good people.

With a good heart and kind words, he embodied the spirit of WoD. When he had to leave us last year to take care of his ailing wife, we all mourned his passing because we knew that our World was diminished.

Marnie, the beloved wife of Mike (Uthr's real name) and mother to their son Max, passed away from complications of MS last evening (Saturday, 9-27-03) at roughly 10pm EST. I spoke to Uthr today and asked him if I should let his WoD Family know, and he said that was fine.

Mike is doing as well as can be expected. He knows that Marnie is no longer in pain and is in a better place.

If you would like Mike's e-mail address, please private message me and I will pass it along.

For my friend, I ask that everyone keep him, his son Max, and both Marnie's and Mike's families in your hearts and in your prayers as they go through this extremely difficult time.

Please send my condolences to Uthr,and let him know he and Max are in our thoughts and prayers.

things and not always look on the other side.

time dealing with this lost.

My condolences to Uthr and Max and their family. Our thoughts and prayers are also with you.

That's really sad. It's hard to lose someone, especially if you have to be strong for [your] child. I hope he and his son will be alright.

It is difficult to put into words how badly this makes me feel. I know she isn't in any more pain, and that must be a relief. But I know how sad and hard it is to lose someone so close to you. It makes my heart ache for you Uthr. Know that we are praying for you and Max, and I hope you can heal quickly.

Love and prayers,
Wings and Randell

Please pass along my best wishes to Uthr and his family as well. I only wish I knew how to express my sorrow at thier loss.

Dear Uthr and Max and family, My heart breaks for your loss. My prayers are with you.

Uthr my thoughts are with you and Max.

Uthr and Max....I am so sorry to hear of this news. My prayers and thoughts are with you. I know how hard it can be when you lose a loved one.
Take Care my Friend, I wish the best for you and Max.

Sincerely, Herakles

My Dear Friends,

I am sorry that I have not kept in better touch with many of you. As you can immagine I have had my hands quite full over the last year or so. Right now I still have more to do than I ever immagined I would have to do.

This has been a rough time for me and Marnie's family. We have been doing our best and are holding up as well as can be expected.

I know that many of you who remember me will not be able to be with us over the next few days. Please know that I appreciate all of you thoughts and prayers during this time. Rather than bothering Pau to contact me please feel free to email mike@harsha.info if you wish to contact me.

Right now I do not know if I will ever return to the World of Dreams. I had many a great time with many of the current veterans. I do miss all of you and think of you often. Unfortunately I must now begin the task of raising my son alone. I do not know if I will have the time to return. If I don't make it back please know that I will always rememnber my time with the World of Dreams fondly.

Fair thee well for now my friends.

Uthr Rhain
AKA Mike

God bless you Uthr, the task is not an easy one but have faith and patience and you will be fine. We will be here with bells on if you want any of us.
