In Loving Memory of Zipporah Branagan whose First Anniversary will take place on Sunday 26th April at 9am in St. Mary’s Church, Cabra.

You never said I'm leaving,
You never said Goodbye.
You were gone before we knew it,
And only God knows why.
In life I loved you dearly,
In death I love you still.
In my heart I hold a place,
That only you can fill.
It broke my heart to lose you,
But you didn't go alone.
A part of me went with you,
The day God took you home.

Missed everyday by her broken hearted husband Bernard and sons Noah, Theo, Teddy, Isaac, Hugo, Ezra, Cooper and the entire family circle.
