Becky, I am so very sad to see this notice of Hilda’s death. All Soul’s has totally lost touch with her and hates that. Please get in touch with me. I am thinking about you. I did love your mother.

Hilda could make me laugh like no one else! She did my nails for years, and I always enjoyed our chats! She was so very proud of her children, and I felt like I knew you even though we never met! It’s been years since I’ve seen Hilda, and I’m sorry I’ll never get the chance to talk to her again. She was such a special southern lady! My sincere condolences to all of her family. R. Gallaher
