With Deepest Sympathy and Saddened Heart Ms. Ethel, you are now with your Heavenly family, all the Hills of the past, and other family branches, finally together again and all with Jesus. My sincere condolences and sympathy are with your family at this time. As hearts cry out and tears flow here on Earth due to your passing, I am reminded, again, that there are no tears, no sadness and no pain in Heaven, only rejoicing, happiness and praises to Jesus. As John 5:24 states, "I tell you the truth, whoever hears My word and believes Him who sent Me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed from death to life". You, like all mothers, are God's gift to the world and especially to the loved ones that come in contact with them. When a mother passes from this Earth to Heaven there are things that are remembered and small things you did that your loved ones may not remember; but all was done for the love of your family. I also know the pain of losing a mother because I lost mine, Willie Pearl Hill (daughter of Thomas Josh Hill & Nena), April 23, 2006. The Lord works in ways we do not understand. The date of my mother's birth, August 27 is the same month and day I lost my wife, Melissa's mother, to cancer in 1991. Melissa was 23 months old. We do not know the why's of this world, but God is in control at all times. I did not know you personally as some of the Hill clan from around Benson, but I do know who you were. When I was a little boy I always wanted to go to the "old" place, Robert Henry's & Pearl's home, on every holiday and, if it were up to me, I would have stayed there. The day my mother passed, I told her "Mama, I Love You more than I can ever say in words….but I know you can see and feel my heart and how much love is there. Thank you for being the best Mama I could have ever had in my life." God knows whom to place with whom in life for his purposes and plans. I stand saddened to the fact that I did not have the opportunity to meet you and know you in this life, but the time is coming that we will all be together again one day. With My Deepest Condolences to the Family Wayne Hill Bergeron Gayle L. Bergeron Melissa Rene Bergeron
