Condolences
Carl, Marilyn, Mark & John Sevey
We extend our sympathy to Hilda's sister, Esther (Emanuel), and niece Joan (Leo), their daughters Michelle, Cherie and Nichole and their families. Hilda was such a good neighbor to us, especially me (Marilyn). We live on 42nd Avenue, the second house from her back fence. I remember how much she and Joe loved their little dog, Twiggy. I took several pictures of Twiggy for her. She thought so much of her family, especially her sisters and nieces and nephews. I remember how she walked to K Mart & Sears, and I can remember her in her yard mowing her lawn. She was such a nice lady and I missed her when she moved away to the nursing home. We are unable to attend her services because we are out of town.
