We all should strive to imitate the fine example sister Hill set and the pleasant personality she displayed. one of my better memories is the one at either her house or at Madea house playing cards. .I see that smile on her face even now! She enjoyed playing cards and we enjoyed playing with her.( Gonna play some more in the new world)

Mrs Hill was a loving kind, humble-hearted person who truly treated others greater than herself. I will truly wait for the day when all those in memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out! Thank you so much for teaching me jehovah's word and believing in me, when I didn't believe in myself, I love you so much for not giving up on me. Because of you I became a servant of the true God, and look forward to seeing you in paradise!!!! Love you
