| To all of Hilda's Family,
It is very difficult to tell you how deeply Jim and I (Rae) feel about the death of Hilda. Our warm friendship goes back many years to the happiness that only those who were so blessed to be chosen to make Barium Presbyterian Orphanage Home their home to never be forgotten. Bereavement is so personal that few of us, unless we have experienced it ourselves, can comprehend its grief. We will never forget Hilda's compassion, warmth and charm. We hope that our caring will lessen the sorrow that you bear.
Jim and Rae Johnson |
