My condolences. My Mother and Hilda were friends and worked at the Livery together. She attended my Mothers funeral some years ago, and I enjoyed talking with her at the book store. Such a sweet person.

To the family of Hilda, My most sincere condolences for your loss. I knew Hilda for many years and I certainly will miss her and her cheerful talks we had over the years. Losing someone you loved is hard; yet, when we shared such a close friendship, their spirit remains in us and that is something beautiful that remains.
Sincerely, Carmen
