Requiem Pace

Drushka was named for the character Prince Andrew Bolkonski in Leo Tolstoy's War and Peace.  Both Drushka and his namesake died early deaths due to the vagaries of the universe.  Despite being crippled from lupus and having his body deteriorate much too fast, Drushka never lost his gentle and loving temperament.
