Grandma,
These are the things I admire, am thankful for, and will sorely miss about you,
Your soft hands and sweet kisses.
Your gingerbread at Christmas time.
Words of encouragement, that upon reflection were truly words of wisdom.
Your laugh.
The way you greeted me each time I saw you, "Hello Ang, give Grandma a kiss."
Your ability to cook everything from scratch, and the time, patience, and love that you put into all of our family gatherings.
Your independence and strength, even at the age of 85.
Unconditional love for your family.
The way you shared your faith, your beliefs, and Christ to me.
I love you and will see you again,
Ang
1 Corinthians 15:20-22
But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.
Dear Family,
I can always remember Aunt Rilda as being so kind and patient with all us kids as we were growing up and visiting together. Her calm demeanor and deep love of family is something I'll forever remember about Aunt Rilda, and a legacy that will forever last in my heart.
Love to all,
Nephew Tim Campbell & Marilyn
Thinking of all of you and keeping you in prayer! Rilda never let anyone know if she didn't feel well so was so surprised to her passing. She was going to be my neighbor once again on Hilltop. Will miss her!
