Heripsima in a funeral

Heripsima is the fifth person from left. She is not wearing a scarf. On the verso this text is written: “Sleep my dear, sleep in peace, sleep into eternity, go to the place where we all have to go, go to the arms of your savior and rest in silence, go and live there, where there is no sorrow and sadness, no tear and suffering. But let us live with your love.”
