I cherish my last visit with Hilda,as well as,all the ones I had with my precious cousin.She would prepare breakfast for me and invite her siblings to join us when I would visit Arkansas.That was always such a special time, as was spending time in her garden and flowers. She insisted that I bring some back to Okla. with me. Many of those flowers are coming up now and she had been on my mind.I regret not spending more time with her and not being there for her service.She will be missed by so many that love her. I pray God's peace and comfort for them all.
