Mother always said that she didn't take a good photograph, but this seems to capture her quite well - taken last month just after she had moved into her new apartment. (And yes, she used the computer in the background, not only to play Solitaire but also to send e-mails!)
She died early this morning after a short illness, aged 94.
Support us, O Lord, all the day long of this troublous life, until the shadows lengthen and the evening comes, the busy world is hushed, the fever of life is over and our work is done. Then, Lord, in your mercy grant us a safe lodging, a holy rest, and peace at the last: through Jesus Christ our Lord.
It is a very beautiful picture! The passing of a mother is a sad moment indeed.
ReplyDeleteMay the divine assistance remain with us always,
and may the souls of the faithful departed rest in peace.
Amen.
