So sorry to hear about your Mom . We are Hilde`s son/daughter in-law - we often saw and visited with your Mom while having dinner with Hilde at Avalon ( she sat at the table with Hilde and George. She so loved and was proud of you her three sons and all her big family. Despite her physical challenges she never complained and was always pleasant - a good role model for all. May God surround you with his love and give you peace at this difficult time. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
