I knew Hilda through business and friendship. She was excellent at both! No one was more giving and kind; she epitomized the word "grace". I am sure she is resting in deep peace; she earned it. However, the world is a lesser place without Hilda Leigh.

One very beautiful, loving, caring, giving, outrageous, people I have ever had the pleasure of being around. There are not enough adjectives as she was just all that and so much much more. Hilda lived and loved with every fiber of her being, a true pleasure to be around. She will be missed. Prayers to the whole family.

A most loving Aunt to me and my sister in California. She brought us joy and love. She had the greatest laugh and love of life. She is one of the strongest woman I know and am so proud to be her niece. May we follow in your footsteps and be together someday... I love you
