Mother, 7 August 1925 to 8 June, 2013


On June 8, the Feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Mother died at home, family around her, at 8,12pm - there had been a power cut, and she was lighted with candles from the altar at St Joseph's, her church through all those years - and some of us saw one of those candles flaring up a few seconds before she breathed her last gentle breath, in a mystical, tender tribute to her extraordinary life, lived for God...she really was happy to be going to heaven. She knew what joy awaited her...
