It is with great sadness that I send this message of sympathy to you. Hildur and I sat next to each other in the Business Dept. at Brockton High School. She was always kind and loving to me. She was always willing to share her down-to-earth wit and wisdom with the new rookie. Many times her kind words got me though the day. I am sure she is in heaven sharing her Tic Tacs with the Lord. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Hildur was my neighbor in Business Education Department at Brockton High School for many years. I always loved her outlook and funny comments. She was a hard worker and caring person, as evidenced by her care of her parents and devotion to her students. We will miss you Hildur, God bless you and yours.

I had MS. Sundstrom in high school and she was the best. I have never forgotten her and her compassion. She was the only teacher that I had that year that attended the wake of my younger brother and gave me the biggest hug. I told her years later how much that meant to me and I have never forgotten her. she was touched by that and she touched me in many ways.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Mark & David: I'm at a loss for words. Hildur was a special person. I shall miss talking to her on the phone, and seeing her when I come up in the summer. I'm sorry I cannot be there on Monday. I'm sure Charlie was at the gate to welcome her. Cousin Patsy
