Hilda was one of my.most favorite Paris Kroger customers.
She was always so sweet and we had lots of wonderful conversations as I checked her out at Krogers. What a jewel she was and now sitting at the feet of Jesus

Rarely have I known someone loved by so many, and whose generous love impacted those who knew her so deeply. People like Mamaw don’t come around very often.
