Rita Hennessy
(née Behan)

Thanks for all the love, support and dedication you gave to me throughout my life. I couldn't ask for a better mother and will miss you terribly. Hopefully I can be half as good as a parent as you were. Love you always, your son, Paul

Deepest sympathy to Rita's family on her sad passing. She was a genuinenly warm and friendly person, always reading to make time for a chat. I have fond memories of her time working in Sandford Park School, Ranelagh. May Rita rest in peace.

Deepest sympathy to Rita’s son, brother and extended family on her passing. I got to know Rita in The Community Tearooms as she came in with her lady friends, she was a lovely lady and always had time for a chat anytime I met her, lovely personality and kind hearted. Rest in peace Rita

Descansa agora em paz, sem sofrimento, Rita. Prometo que vou cuidar o melhor que sei e posso dos nossos queridos Paul e Leonor e da nossa amada neta. Tenho a certeza que também cuidarás deles, na dimensão onde te encontras agora.

Even though we never met, I will never forget the great love & kindness Rita showed toward me when my husband died in August.

We spoke last week on the phone & we were so looking forward to meeting each other for the first time.
We talked about the Goodness of God, His great Love & Mercy that is there for everyone who will believe;

John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

I did not get to meet Rita in this life, but we will meet in a far greater place

Revelation 21:3-4 and I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and He will dwell with them. They will be His people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”

Joe, Paul & Leonor, God bless you & comfort you and give you peace, you were such a blessing to Rita & you were there for her when she needed you the most.

Likewise God bless & comfort Rita’s good neighbours & friends

Psalms 34:18 The Lord is near to the broken hearted and saves the crushed in spirit.

Para toda a família de uma forma especial ao meu genro Paul e á minha filha Leonor um abraço de muita força e amor. Rita que a tua jornada tenha sido repleta de vitórias ( e tens uma Victoria especial). Descansa em paz e serenidade e olha por nós.

So sorry for Rita's family and friends, she was a lovely lady and she loved Piper.May Rita rest in peace.

I was very fortunate to have got to know Rita when she cared for my late mother Éilís - years when she taught me a lot about caring, love and life.
