Hilda it has been 12 years now. I still think of you daily. Our 3 musketeers is now down to one. I now have two Angels watching over me. Sharon joined you in heaven now 7 months ago. It doesn't and haven't sunk in, but I know both of you are resting well in peace with no more pain. Love you both.

I was on my way to work and lost a valuable earring when I recrived a call on your passing. I never thought of it again in light of what your family and friends had lost. In 1968 you told your fiance Mt. Moore "here's my friend from 1st grade..." you
were close...it was 3rd. You were thoughtful enough to want
me at the reunions when 95% of my Forrestville classmates
went to DuSable while I scurried to Dunbar. I last saw you
when Lee Gusta passed, your first cousin. Both nice, quiet
girls you were. You were still pretty and nice. Actually you had
a wonderful life and it is not too late to say it.

Hilda was an awesome person who loved family and children with a passion. It's been over a year already and time still has not healed losing Hilda. I always considered her my older sister. I still hear her voice and unique laughter. I miss our long talks and sisterly sharing. The void in my life will never be filled. To our family, I pray that God will continue to strengthen and sustain us until we see her again.

I went to grammar school & high school with Hilda. We were like sisters & shared many good times. I moved away from Chicago almost 40 yrs ago but we talked on the phone & I looked forward to seeing her at DuSable reunions. She was a special person & will be missed. My prayers are with the Cunningham & Moore families.

Hilda made the cruise of 2006 even more pleasurable by talking and being a genuine and natural comedienne who truly missed her other calling.

To the family-I'm still in disbelief that Hilda is no longer with us, just as you are. Altho we were sisters in spirit (triplets) I still feel as if I lost a part of my family. I think of her everyday, all the fun at our meetings and all of our weekends together. I will always have my thoughts and pictures forever.
