Dearest Hilda May,
resting on sons' strong shoulders,
always held in love.
It was a sad, but also a very tender and beautiful day
when Hilda was carried to rest
on the shoulders of the menfolk in her life.
It was fitting,
after all, they had been her life ~
It was fitting,
after all, they had been her life ~
her husband Ernie who had gone before,
her two sons, and two grandsons,
and of course us, her wider family.
As one final act of love and respect,
we slowly and reverently
visited Hilda's beloved 'Sun Street',
the street she grew up in,
the street she played in as a child,
and
the place she reminisced about in later years.
Such a touching, final rendezvous,
imagining
Hilda Happy on Sun Street.

What a splendid tribute to what seems a lovely lady who left a happy life. Mixed feelings for you on the day I shouldn't wonder.
Peace.
her face here so full of life, love, promise.
the flowers like a starry crown upon her head.
a blessing from sun street.
you words so honoring and bright.
thank you for sharing this passage, this beautiful branch in your family tree.
Big hug and lots of love sent you way.
Thank you for sharing these beautifully warm and intimate family memories with us. Hilda May looks as lovely on her wedding day as Lady Di ever did. She is adorned with a crown of flowers, the queen of her household, supported by the men of her court and clearly she had a deeply significant place in the hearts of both her family and her extended family. How blessed she is to be honored and loved so by you on this day. This is a beautiful post.
Love always,
Noelle

All the best, Boonie
