RIP, M. Stuart Grace, 1961-2024
and this shall remain STUMP
Stuart, my husband, died suddenly this evening.
We met in 1996, and were married October 14, 2000 [UPDATE: whups… a little mistake in the first draft, when I wrote 1996 on the 2nd date. He was persuasive but not that persuasive.]
His death was due to complications related to his metastatic prostate cancer, diagnosed in August 2017.
There will be a longer obituary later, but this is to say I will be taking a break. STUMP (from Stu and MP, our names) will remain STUMP.
Stu was not as much into Latin and Mozart as I am, but here is the All Souls Day Requiem Mass from St. John Cantius in Chicago from 2023:

We both enrolled in the Confraternity of the Most Holy Rosary together, so if you’re the rosary-praying kind, please add Stuart to your rosary intentions.
If you’re not, please think of him, and his children:
I will miss him. He was my best friend.
