Hilda Thornton was a very loved woman by many. She gave her love and care like God gave her. The day has come when she will be laid to rest, but we know what they say that God only takes the best. Everything happens for a reason, even if we may not agree. Hilda promised to look after us and if she can, save a spot up there for me. The thought of never seeing you again brings tears to our eyes and even more so because all of this was such a surprise. But we should never question what God has planned; sometimes it's not meant for us to understand. So as we sit here and mourn the loss of a beloved friend, We have to keep telling ourselves that we will meet again. Farewell my friend, you're leaving us because it is time for you to go. Your friendship was a blessing, and we will miss you so. We have shared so many secrets no one will never know. Hilda has brightened up our days that brought us so much happiness. With her kind and loving ways, she lifted up our spirits when we were feeling blue. No matter what was happening, she knew just what to do. We ran between the raindrops and walked beneath the sun. Ran barefoot in the summertime and oh, we had such fun. Through all the ups and downs of life, the good times and the sad, from younger days to golden years. The best friend we ever had; God is here to take you home. Now we must part, we will love Hilda forever as she continues to live deep within our hearts. Hilda Thornton has rested all of her labor and will be truly missed by a host of relatives and friends. Proverbs 31:10
