I met Hilda when I worked at the Shell station on Camp Robinson Rd. Then her mom took over and she started working there. We had so many good time after that. She also did a gorgeous flower arrangement when my grandson passed. She was an amazing person, so loving and happy all the time. She was the definition of hard work. Till we meet again, you are missed.

I never had the pleasure of meeting you. But, you have an amazing daughter, Laura. If she is anything like you, you will be sorely missed. To know Laura is to know love. You did a fantstic job instilling that in her. May you rest in everlasting peace.

Cousins are our first true friends in life. From our cousins growing up, we learned the value of family. Hilda, there are so many wonderful memories of our childhood. Your parents( Uncle CW and Aunt Betty) and my parents would get together on Sundays. We all (cousins) would have the best time. You were the first person to show me how to put on blue eye shadow, I think I was 12 years old! Your sttong spirit will be missed. Now you are with your parents and my parents. The wonderful cousin memories will live forever in my heart. Till we meet, I love you.
