Hilda had a daycare in her home for over 30 years and every child in her care was treated as her own. Her door was always open, she never knew a stranger and loved with all her heart. Hilda never let you go hungry if you walked into her home, just don’t touch her diet Dr. Peppers. She was an amazingly strong woman and wanted everyone to be happy around her, which was easy in her presence. She was one of a kind and impacted everyone she touched in her life. She will be missed so very much by so many people. We know she is dancing in the sky and is no longer in pain.
Those we love don’t go away; they walk beside us every day. Unseen but always near, still loved, still missed & held so dear. Forever in our Hearts Hilda Gloria Munoz.
