IRISH BLESSING

May the roads rise to meet you,
May the winds be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields,
And until we meet again
May God hold you ~
in the hollow of his hand.

To the entire Ritchie family, our heartfelt condolences to your family. May the happy memories that you have get you through this difficult time.

I remember "nana" fondly at the Cape with Karen's family and her delicious Rhubarb pie. She was warm and welcoming just like her pie and treated all she met as family.
