Memories Timeline

Guestbook

  1. I remember Mrs. Hill teaching us in Sunday School, VBS and hearing her minister at times. She was a true Woman of God. Prayers to the family.

  2. Please except my condolences. May you find comfort in knowing that your dear one is safe in the memory of God, who will remember every detail about her and bring her back again. John 528, 29 gives this assurance.

  3. My Grandma Hill made it to the destination she has been speaking of all of the 45 years I’ve known her. Today she got to see the face of Jesus. ❤️ My Grandma Hill was one of the kindest, gentlest people I’ve ever known. She didn’t know a stranger. She always had a fun, exciting story to keep my interest with. She was a hard working, independent woman that didn’t want or need a lot. She found her comfort in Jesus, her family, and her friends. I Love You Grandma. 😪

  4. I offer my condolences to the family for your loss. Please take comfort in the promise of the time when tears death and pain will be no more. (Rev.213,4) May your reflection on this wonderful hope and the fond memories you have bring you comfort and strength to endure this difficult time.
