When I think of cousin Hilda, I remember a caring, loving and saintly person. It is comforting to think of Hilda and Peter united in heaven and watching over their beloved son and grandchildren.

Peter, Thank you for the beautiful video! We really enjoyed the wedding photos of Hilda and Papa Peter. Enjoyed so much the years with Hilda in the St. Nicholas Prayer Group and also have a happy memory of sitting with Peter and Hilda and Fr. DiNardo at an Italian Catholic dinner. Love to you all,

Hilda was one of the sweetest ladies i ever met. Peter adored his wife and it was beautiful to watch their devotion to each other. Hilda always attended the Stvdp luncheons with Peter and i always tried to sit at their table. Now they are finally united and heaven has another angel.

Hilda was one of the sweetest ladies I ever met. She always attended our Stvdp luncheons and we loved how Peter adored her. Now they are once again united. Heaven truly has a new angel. I was happy I could attend her memorial mass and see her son Peter.

Hilda was a gracious warm cousin to me when she visited Michigan and welcomed me to their home in California!! I pray that the many memories of the love that was so abundant in that home is a comfort to "petercito" as I can almost hear her speaking of Peter!

Hilda Gioe was an amazing woman. She treated me like family, growing up across the street from her family, and close friends with her son, Peter, jr. . She was a saint, a mother figure to me, a loving wife, and mother, and she cared deeply for the loved ones in her life. I will always hold fond memories of her forever in my heart. Love to you Hilda. You are now with your beloved husband in Heaven.
