May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived. My family and I will miss Hilda, she was a good friend. She had a terrific sense of humor and we really enjoyed spending time with her; there was always good food, laughter and love, and she would always send us home with a jar or two of her home canned goodies. Thank you Hilda for being authentic in the way you lived and loved, we will miss you...see you in a lil bit :)
