The following verses is taken from the Book of Proverbs, written between 400 and 700 BCE: “A woman of valour, who can find? Far beyond pearls is her value. She spreads out her palm to the poor and extends her hands to the destitute. The bread of idleness, she does not eat. She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue. Give her the fruit of her hands, and she will be praised by her very own deeds.” You are much loved dearest Katie. I will always hold you dearly in my heart. Brigid and Roisin in Belfast. Xxxxx
