Some years ago I did a joint article with Eileen Mulhare for ESTUDIOS DE CULTURA NAHUATL on rosary references in fray Pedro de Gante's 1553 DOCTRINA CHRISTIANA. Eileen's husband was going to be in Chicago in early January 2007 for a scholarly conference. Hence she contacted me and we made plans to meet at Amarit, a Thai restaurant near the Newberry Library in Chicago, IL, USA. I am currently in Chicago, working on some wonderful Carochi material, courtesy of a longterm NEH fellowship.<BR>
<BR>
We were both looking forward to actually seeing each other in person after corresponding for years. Her interset in early Nahuas and Nahuatl had deepened over the years and she looked forward to talking to me about her latest projects. I was going to bring up a tentative proposal for her to work with me and someone else on some more Gante material. Afterwards I was going to show her around the Newberry's Aztec Exhibit.<BR>
<BR>
Then yesterday I got an urgent message from her husband. I called him right away and then shortly thereafter received the email I include at the end of this email via copy-and-paste. <BR>
<BR>
The email speaks for itself. I end with a call for anyone who knew Eileen to contact Michael. She will be missed. <BR>
<BR>
Ye ixquich.<BR>

</FONT><FONT COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" FAMILY="SANSSERIF" SIZE="2"> I regret to convey the tragic news that my wife and your colleague Eileen Mulhare died on Saturday, December 23, 2006 at the Johns Hopkins Medical Center in Baltimore, MD. We had been visiting relatives when she was suddenly stricken with a heart attack on Thursday, December 21, followed by a massive stroke. It was combination of the two that eventually resulted in her death. She was only 53. It was possible for her to donate her kidneys and some tissues to help others. I miss her a great deal. We were companions for more than 25 years. </FONT><FONT COLOR="#000000" FACE="Geneva" FAMILY="SANSSERIF" SIZE="2"><BR>

Her husband, entrusting his heart to her, has an unfailing prize. She brings him good, and not evil, all the days of her life. … ‘Many are the women of proven worth, but you have excelled them all.’ … the woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.’</FONT><FONT COLOR="#000000" FACE="Geneva" FAMILY="SANSSERIF" SIZE="2"><BR>
