Godspeed precious woman. Even when your mind wandered aimlessly, you talked about your baby boy with clarity. You will always be my mother in law. You were there for me without judgment when Kevin and I struggled. You and Kevin and Bill have burned a spot in my heart and soul that I will never forget. I loved your youngest with my entirety and I can never get over what could have been. You are with your baby boy now, and I know you have finally found peace. Losing him killed you, because I feel the same. I will never be able to forget you as my family. Seeing you struggle when your baby boy died still is a deep pain in my heart, because I feel it too. I will never forget what YOU and BILL and KEVIN meant to me. I know Kevin is holding your hand now in heaven. You taught him well, because even in his struggles, he loved the Lord. He taught me what you taught him. Seeing you near the end was hard for me because I didn't expect to be so broken hearted at
seeing your broken heart. I know that now your heart is healed because you are with your baby boy. He was waiting for you. I will always love you Hilda Absher. Your presence has always been and always will be with me.
