    Hilda was a warm and wonderful person who was always ready to extend a helping hand to another. I most remember the times we went to the Allegheny County Fair and also the family get togethers at 1421 Junior Drive. She certainly is someone who earned her place in heaven.

    Heavy heart filled with joy. Memories of Aunt Hilda are sweet. Remembering her eyes, you could see her smile in her eyes. Fond memory was a Pittsburg reunion where Hilda caught us eating the Hershey kisses off Grandma Rhine's cookies. The problem was we would put the cookie part back in the tin. She just smiled and took the kiss off a cookie and put the cookie back! Heaven welcomed home a beautiful servant. All our best. Tim and June Rhine
