A person that departs from this earth never truly leaves, for they are still alive in our hearts, through us, they live on. My condolences to you all.
I am so sorry to learn about Ms. Hilda. She was such a delightful lady. Each of you has a part of her in your heart and definitely in your personality. She always had a smile to share. Love and hugs to each of you.
Our heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with all of you in Hilda’s family. We have many loving memories of visits to Aunt Ethel and Uncle Silas home next door in Sharpesburg many years ago with visits from Hilda and her girls. Losing a loved one is a difficult time but memories of lessons learned and love that was shared for so many years is quite remarkable. Remember all the happy times and know that someday you will see this remarkable lady again! Sincerely, Virginia
Rest in peace Grandma. I will see you again. I love you. Give Papa a kiss for me.
Dear Robbie and family, I am deeply saddened to hear of the loss of your grandmother. I have fond memories of her and how she lived such a kind and genuine life. I can’t remember one time that I saw her when she didn’t have her signature smile on her face. Unfortunately, ladies like Miss Hilda are becoming harder to find everyday. I am sorry for your loss. Blessings to you all. Freddy and family
So sorry for your loss. Mrs. Hilda will be greatly missed.
Please accept my sincere condolences for the loss of your loved one. Losing our dear ones is very difficult to accept. Something that comforted our family during such a difficult time was the promise found in the Bible. Revelation 213,4 promises that God will wipe away all tears from their eyes and death will be no more . I truly hope that these words will bring comfort to your family as it did ours. If you would like to read more about God’s promises visit jw.org.
While we never knew Ms. Hilda personally, we know her daughter, Lisa, who is a wonderful person and I’m sure she has many of her mother’s qualities. We are praying that God’s wings of comfort and peace completely surround each member of the family during this time.
Linda, Cynthia, Susan and Lisa, I am so sorry for your loss of your Mother. All of you are certainly in my prayers. May God give you the strength now and the days to come. God Bless each one of you.
My name is Carlein. I am a Bible teacher. I am sorry for your loss. A scripture that has given me much comfort is Revelation 21.4 which promises that one day death shall be no more. I hope this truth brings you comfort also.
