God has called an angel home - the precious gift of faith, light, and love that lit up First Trinity was indeed Hildegard. I often wear the pin she gave me and think of her kind smiles and gentle eyes. May God's grace and comfort surround you as Hildegard has joined the angels above to watch over you. Prayers and Love

My condolences to the family at the loss of a strong patriarch and backbone of First Trinity! Hildegard is likely joyously singing hymns with the angels right now!
