What a beautiful picture! That smile will remain with me. Uncle Henry was so kind and gentle. The Hildebrand house was my favorite place to visit, always felt so welcomed and loved. My heart is with you, Auntie Eva. - Posted by: Janice Froese (Neice) on: Apr 08, 2015

I have so many good memories of you as my brother, the highlight of which is the many times we sang together as a family! It was also through singing that we could relate to you when speech became difficult. I'm thankful that God so gently released you & now you are HOME, and it reminds me of a song: Some day this stam'ring tongue will falter no more, & a grander sweeter song I shall sing, For I'll join the ransomed choir on heaven's bright shore, forever to praise the King! So sing, Henry with Mom, Dad, John, Bill, Ray & so many others while you wait for the rest of us. To Eva -- Henry was blessed to have you as his wife!! When you said "in sickness & health" you meant it, you walked the talk! We saw love personified! Same goes for your family! Though he could not respond, Henry had to know how deeply he was loved!
