Not sure what to say?

Thanks for all the correspondences regarding my wonderful wife; my sorrow is unending as a pray for relief; she was the world to me!!

My life, my love, my existence! I will cry for months as I struggle to live without her physical presence ; her spirit will remain in my heart until God calls me home to rejoin her in our mansion in the sky ; I love you dearly Hilda and will fight on without you; thank you for over 30 years of care !!!

I'm terribly sorry for your loss, Walter. May the good Lord be with you and your family during this most difficult time. I will continue to keep you in my prayers.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, at this difficult time. May God bless all of you.



Sending prayers to Aunt Boo's family.

Walter,

I was honored that you called me Sunday morning to tell me of Hilda's passing.We have been like brothers to each other and my heart aches. Prayers for you and Hilda's family from me and Mavis.

Walter, my thoughts and prayers have been with you lately, but especially today and tomorrow. You have so many good memories shared with Hilda through the years, and now the heartfelt reminders from friends, family and others Hilda touched. That is a legacy like no other. So now you have one more guardian angel to watch over you. Thinking of you and the family today and so sorry for your loss.

Dear Walter,
Hilda's passing is truly heartfelt. Remembering the good times-- the silly inconsequential moments with Hilda that bring you to a smile-- the moments in time that were reserved for the two of you-- that's what's important to reflect on. Those are the memories to hold on to and those are the memories worth sharing. She is survived through you as we all are survived through each other. I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Walter - I remember those late nights sitting on the porch, just talking and talking. It makes me smile to see Hilda talking with her mom and grandparents on the porch up there in heaven. She's not hurting any more.
I love you, Cousin, and I wish I could be there...
