Cousin Hope...Found out on Friday about your Mom. I have very dear memories of her and you. My mother, Elsie had such good times with her and the girlfriends from the NK neighborhood. They all had a lot of fun playing cards together. I know my mother missed seeing your Mom when she moved to Greenville but they kept in touch.

Your mother was a very dear lady.

Sincere sympathy to you, Ken and your families.

Hilda was my favorite Aunt and made a significant impact in my life. I have found myself thinking of her a great deal and wishing I could see her again.

I knew Hilda from working at The Village. She was such a kind and pleasant person, always a smile on her face. I will remember her with a smile on my face. My deepest condolences to all of her family.
