    I too have many great memories of your mother. Hilda drove me (and David) on my first date to the movies! She was a wonderful partner for Ralph and a fine parental example to her children. She will be missed but not forgotten.

    I adored Hilda. She was was so dear to me and everyone. Hilda braided my hair, got me through math classes, made me a special dress, and baked the best cookies. I was so lucky to have her as my next door neighbor lady. My sympathies and love to John, Tom, David, and their families.

    My deepest condolences to the Hinshaw family for the of a dear great mom, grandma, relative and friend. I never had the opportunity to meet Hilda but I always referred to her as mom. She reminded me of my mom who died when I was a teen. May God give you the grace and comfort to bear the grief.
