My beloved mother is no more
of this world; [added: where] she now only lives in
our hearts & in the memory of those
who have known & loved her. She
was called to her final rest on the
12th after a few days of illness.


Thanks to kind Providence
who spared her & ourselves, her
departure was peaceful & without

was one of the beloved sheep of our
Saviour. She now enjoys his
blessed presence. May we all,
her children, follow her in the same
path, each at our appointed time.

yet very strong, & overexerted herself
