Aunt Hilda was an exemplary, and virtuous woman of faith. So long you cared for us, and now you are with the comforter. Rest in heavenly peace!
When my faith is tried, may God put it in my heart to think of you. May I remember when you were ill yet opted to stop chemotherapy, putting your trust in Him, and was delivered. I will remember you.
I will remember the peace you carried within you so eloquently, and the light that you proudly displayed everywhere you went.
May the Most High continue to bless you for faithfulness for an eternity.
"He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty." (Psalms 91:1)

Tomorrow is never promised and yet we continue to take each day for granted. We expect that the sun will rise and fall the same way it did yesterday and things will still be the same, not expecting that someone like you will get called home to stand on the right side of Our Father so soon before anyone can get that last kiss, last hug, last smile, last touch, last hello or last goodbye. You will forever be in my heart and I will never forget about you for you are another that I will call My Angel. I am so sorry I could not be there to say my final goodbye which means I have some very big shoes to fill in order to be able to say Hello again. I Love you forevermore.
To my sisters and brothers/cousins. I sincerely apologize for not being able to make it, I send my condolences and pray that each day after this becomes a day filled with loving memories and light knowing you had an Angel for a mother. I love you all!!!
