Message: What an incredible honor and a pleasure it has been for me to know you. In our travels and many outings you have made me laugh and through our conversations you have taught me so much about life. You, Hilda, have left an imprint in my life that will never go away and for that I am a better person. You may not have realized it while you lived your arduous life but you influenced so many and brought unto yourself great respect boundless admiration and endless love. I too will miss you and, after 20 years of having you in my life, I too will carry you in my heart always. Traveling will never be the same for us without you. Thanks for caring for me, and for the incredible meals you shared with me (No one cooks like you....No one.) Rest now and dwell in the glory of heaven with those loved ones who were there to receive you. God Bless Love Robert

Message: IN MEMORY OF A WONDERFUL MOTHER, WHO GAVE HER ALL, SO HER SONS COULD BE ALL THEY ARE TODAY. THERE IS NOTHING LIKE A MOTHERS SACRIFICE FOR HER CHILDREN,

Message: A Mother’s Crown Heaven lit up with a mighty presence, as the Angels all looked down. Today the Lord was placing the jewels Into my mother’s crown. He held up a golden crown, as my darling mother looked on. He said in His gentle voice, ‘I will now explain each one.’ ‘The first gem,’ He said, ‘is a Ruby, and it’s for endurance alone, for all the nights you waited up for your children to come home.’ ‘For all the nights by their bedside, you stayed till the fever went down. For nursing every little wound, I add this ruby to your crown.’ ‘An emerald, I’ll place by the ruby, for leading your child in the right way. For teaching them the lessons, That made them who they are today.’ ‘For always being right there, through all life’s important events. I give you a sapphire stone, for the time and love you spent.’ ‘For untying the strings that held them, when they grew up and left home. I give you this one for courage.’ Then the Lord added a garnet stone. ‘I’ll place a stone of amethyst,’ He said. ‘For all the times you spent on your knees, when you asked if I’d take care of your children, and then for having faith in Me.’ ‘I have a pearl for every little sacrifice that you made without them knowing. For all the times you went without, to keep them happy, healthy and growing.’ ‘And last of all I have a diamond, the greatest one of all, for sharing unconditional love whether they were big or small.’ ‘It was your love that helped them grow Feeling safe and happy and proud A love so strong and pure It could shift the darkest cloud.’ After the Lord placed the last jewel in, He said, ‘Your crown is now complete, You’ve earned your place in Heaven With your children at your feet.’

Message: "The Broken Chain" We little knew that day, God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly, In death, we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you. You did not go alone. For part of us went with you, The day God called you home. You left us beautiful memories, Your love is still our guide. And although we cannot see you, You are always at our side. Our family chain is broken, And nothing seems the same, But as God calls us one by one, The chain will link again. Author: Ron Tranmer
