Gone, like a kiss.

It's been rough few days but it is over. Dear Rita passed away at noon today. I am actually glad because yesterday was as hard to watch as it was for her to endure. She asked me to kiss her on the cheek and it was an honour. Other than that question, her last clear words were, 'I love you all."  And she passed whilst I was with two very close friends, and on a beautiful day. What a broad!
