With loving memories of Aunt Hilda. There is comfort in knowing she is no longer suffering. Peace, Prayers and Blessing to all. I am Free”Don`t grieve for me for now I`m free.I`m following the path God has laid you see.I took His hand when I heard him call.I turned my back and left it all.Lift up your hearts and peace to theeGod wanted me now; He set me free! Love Beth & Brenden”
Hilda was a Very Special Lady! May we all have the comfort of knowing that she`s not suffering any more and can move freely! My deepest sympathy to the family during this difficult time…
I met Hilda when I worked for the Louisa Building Inspector`s office and she covered local government news for the CV. Always smiling, always nice, always fair reporter.
