A Message from The Lady Eile O'Carroll
widow to the Late Chief Eile O'Carroll

Message to Freddy A. J. Carroll:
You who were given by your wonderful, loving father "Chief of Name" in the immediate family only give proof that you have also been given "Chief of Clan" for Cian!
If you are the "Chief of Clan Cian" respond personally yourself to the Clan Dowager

There was a lot of unnecessary turmoil over the display of the Chief's final wishes that concerned the entire Clan that I had been asked to display. The wills of The Chief O'Carroll were the only documentation with the final authority on his disposition concerning how he wanted things to transpire after his death.

Since a lot of you ether misread or misunderstood why the wills were put up, some of the chieftains sure did, I will try and point out some salient points.

On line 10 you will notice it says that The Lady Eile is second within his authority
that I am second in line as long as I live
finally that I own the Clan Cian business.

The main reason for putting up the wills was to counter the confusion in the clan leadership over who had the proper authority and even though the wills spell out Chief Eile's wishes many chose to usurp his rights as Chief and follow after their own ambitions. To this day I have never been notified of anything.

If I did or said anything to hurt the feelings of any of you I do apologize. I don't want to hurt anyone.

When my husband died he took a part of my heart with him. He said he was going to and he did. So if you all will excuse me my heart is still healing and the chieftains that he left to stand by my side and protect me instead usurped both me and The Chief.

The people that were so applaud by my actions do you think I wasn't equally applaud when you made me late to my own husbands funeral.

God bless all of you who did stand by my side and continue to help me fulfill the Chiefs wishes.
