Thank you all for your sympathy and kind words.   The memory of my grandma will remain in all of our hearts forever.  I thank my grandmother for being so kind, thoughtful and loving.  The most treasured memories I have are the times spent at her house in Fort Washington; Holiday gatherings, Grandma saying prayers.....crying and us kids peeking with one eye open and giggling, us grandchildren playing in the back yard, rolling down the hill in the front yard, Grandpa cleaning the dishes, breaking down boxes and taking out the trash, the bell my grandma used to ring when dinner was ready, the cheese and crackers, the piano, the pool table, all the toys in the laundry room, my loving Granny, the smell of her house, all the laughter, the loudness and high intense discussions. :o)  Those all were great times and I'll never forget them. I only wish I had more to share.  Memories become a part of your soul and will never be lost.  I love you Grandma!  Until we meet again........

Even knowing that Hilda''s suffering has ended, it is hard to believe that she is gone.  Hilda was the strongest, wisest women I have ever known.  Countless times I have used her as an example of how a mother / friend / person should be.  She took such good care of everyone - myself included - and fiercely loved her family.  She was the consummate mother, and my Sebastian is blessed to be her grandson.  I will always remember how her kitchen table was like a magnet, drawing family and friends together for wonderful times.  Hilda was a special person, and it is truly my loss not to have had her in my life the last few years.   She has earned her heavenly reward and will live on in the beautiful memories and people she has left behind.

My greatest sympathy to all of you, Uncle Ray, John, Deanna, Susan, Sheila and all the children and grandchildren . Aunt Hilda meant a lot to us, we love her very much. I know exactly what you have been through with the lose of our own mother much in the same way. She is with God now with a brand new body and mind and that is the greatest gift.

We will be keeping you in our prayers

I work with David Jones (Grandson) here in South Carolina. We are sorry for your loss.

Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. (John 14:1-3)
