Hilda was one of life's greatest gifts. If you knew her, you knew you were loved. She was the most generous, loyal, selfless, caring friend anyone could ask for. She has left us with many wonderful memories and I'm thankful to have known such a wonderful soul. I have no doubt that she's in heaven watching over us all; as she did in life. Hilda, you'll be forever missed and loved by so many! My thoughts and prayers are with all who knew her.

She was such a great friend to my Nanny and not just my Nanny, but to our entire family. She was a wonderful, strong, and up beat woman. She was always on the go. I will miss you being here to aggravate me, but I want to thank you so much for being there for my Nanny for so many years and getting her out of the house. It will not be the same.
