Hilda was a wonderful person. She will be missed but never forgotten. Prayers for the family!
I’ve known Hilda all my life, even worked with her at Walmart. We were great friends. She was always so nice to me and everyone! If she could do anything for anyone else, she would! I was so surprised to she that Hilda had passed away! I’m really sorry for you, her family. I know you’ll miss her and may have a hard time finding peace about your loss. I’m disabled now and can’t come to her services, but my thoughts and prayers will be with the family 🙏🏼. God bless you all.
