Betty, you were one in a million, your family were so lucky to have you as a mother and as a wife.
You suffered bravely at the end, why only God can explain, but now you are at home in his Grace.
Thank you for your boundless generosity in hosting me whenever I visited Ireland. I will miss you dearly.
Til we meet again in God’s glorious kingdom.
