Sister was a very special aunt. I always loved the time we spent together. I also enjoyed the visits to her motherhouse. Her sister friends were always so welcoming and loving. They took such good care of Sister which I am very grateful. God's love shined bright through each of them. Sister taight me how to see God's love and beauty in nature and those around us. When she saw something beautiful, she would say out loud Thank you God! Have a happy birthday in heaven tomorrow!
I’m sure Wilhelmina’s faith sustained her, so may you, the family find comfort in God’s Word, the Bible and the promises it guarantees for the future. (Job 14:14-15; Acts 24:15)
To the family I was sorry to read of your loss. Death is difficult to endure regardless of our age, however we can find comfort from God's word the Bible. It tells us that soon all those in the memorial tomb will come out by means of a resurrection.(John 5:28, 29). Until then, may you continue to keep his memory warm in your hearts until you see her happy and healthy again one day
