Doug and I will not be able to attend the service today. However we wanted to let you know we are thinking about all of you and sending prayers your way as you go through this time of grief. We have fond memories of Hilda, especially her years as a cook at school and the good food she prepared. I also loved her German accent. We didn't hear many foreign accents in Newtown back at that time. I know you will miss her. Our love to you all.
