Hilda taught me so much during the time I worked for Dr Weys. I was a nursing student and truly appreciated her knowledge and experience. She was a blessing and a great nurse.

Dave, Lavilla and family,
Although it has been a number of years since we have seen Hilda, we remember her fondly. She was always so sweet. We do talk about John and Hilda and are glad we had them in our lives. Our deepest sympathy to you.
