Hilda welcome to your Heavenly home. You now breathe with no difficulty. You were always like a second mother to me when I lost my mother. Have many happy memories with you, Billy, mama , and daddy in my younger years Always enjoyed coming to your home to watch the setback or rook card games. Yes, memories are treasures and my treasure chest is full. I will certainly miss our phone chats. Go fly high my special angel. Love you and miss you. 💕💕💕💕. Angela

My heart goes out to all that knew Hilda. She will always be remembered as a loving, sweet friend. I worked with her for 17 years in the Trust Dept and I have never forgotten her quick smile and the willingness to help me learn when I started work there. Even when our lives took different directions, I have never forgotten her. May you rest in peace with God and your Billie..
