The Last Kiss

This photo was taken by Rita's sister Susan at 6pm 1st July, as brother Michael and wife Rosy were saying their goodbyes for the evening. By the next morning Rita had slipped into a coma, and sadly left us. 
There's a lovely smile on Rita's face as she kisses Michael goodbye for what was to be the very last time.

In Loving Memory

Rita Mary Cunningham (née Murphy)
8th January 1947 ~ 2nd July 2015
Holy Mary Mother of God pray for her!

Let nothing disturb you,
let nothing frighten you,
all things are passing:
God never changes.
Patience obtains all things,
whoever has God lacks nothing;
God Alone Suffices
