To the Hillis, Smith, Overholtzer and Salvage families: We were so sorry to hear about the loss of "Grandma Hillis". She was a very special lady. I remember years ago when they were in town on Halloween, my family was happy to share my birthday dinner with her and Ralph "Grandpa Hillis". We always got to choose what we wanted for dinner and dessert on our birthday, and mine was always very hectic because the kids would be at the door trick or treating. It was special to have them there with us.

Our prayers are with the whole family, and special prayers for Ralph. I know this is so heartbreaking for him. You will survive, Ralph even though you probably don't believe that. She is now with your daughter, who was such a wonderful mother and wife to my brother. We all lost her way too soon, and miss her to this day. She and my brother taught me a valuable lesson that has helped me survive through the years. I hope it will help you too. They taught me to "TRUST IN THE LORD WITH ALL YOUR HEART"
