Exactly one year ago two of my cousins, Chris and Cleofe, got into a dealer-loaned Lexus for a trip after their main car was being repaired. Cleofe's husband, a CHP officer, was driving and their teen daughter was along for the ride. While on the freeway, the accelerator became stuck and they lost control of the car. As the runaway vehicle sped up to over 100 mph, all four passengers were killed in a fiery crash in the San Diego River. The loss was unquantifiably devastating. This immensely tragic event led my aunt to testify before congress with damning evidence that would initiate the recall of millions of Toyota vehicles. Requiemme Decorum was created on the way down to southern California for the funeral services. For Chris, Cleofe, Mark, and Mahala, may you all rest in peace and love.

a very touching and personal tribute. and a masterful font. for me, it evokes the spark of hope that remains in us after we lose someone close. the glyphs look like the light of hope is spreading inside and overtaking the darkness that surrounds one during times of loss. i hope that the joy you have given us with this font, also be a part of your life and help with your healing. thank you for sharing.

I, as well, feel deeply this great tragedy and sense the hole left in the lives touched by your dear departed ones. You hearten me to remember the best ways to grieve, these tears and making beauty to honor of all whom we have lost. You and your heroic aunt show us well how to do this.

Thank you for sharing such a devastatingly personal story.
