In Loving Memory of Hilda Martin

In Loving Memory of Our Mother
Hilda Martin:
Mom left this world on December 29, 2012, she went home to be with Jesus. She is now singing around the throne with the Angels and loved ones who went on before. She was the greatest mom and will be sadly missed, but we take joy in knowing that we will meet our mother again in Heaven. We would like to take this time to thank everyone for their prayers, food, flowers, kind words, during our time of sorrow. We cannot name the people, because there were so many, we just want them to know that they will not be forgotten. We thank Wolf and Sons for their beautiful arrangements, the flower shops for all the beautiful flowers, the singers for the beautiful songs. To Jerry and Brenda Rice we say thank you. Mom loved you guys so much. Hearing Jerry preach was always a blessing to her. Our hearts are still broken, we miss you so much mom. We know that you are in Heaven now. Again, we say “Thank you!” to everyone for everything.
