One Condolence
  1. Hilda was my mom’s neighbor. As a child I played with her kids Patty and David. We always had fun! My sisters and I have kept in touch with Paul and Hilda when our mom passed. They helped my mom while she was still at home and we appreciated that so much. Hilda May you rest in peace and I’m so happy you are with Patty again. I’m sure there were lots of hugs and crying! Gods speed
