Please know that you're in our thoughts and prayers. 
Our sincerest condolences for an incredible person
like Hilda. We are blessed that she was a part of 
our family and we pray that our Lord embraces her 
and brings her to an everlasting life in heaven.

Hilda was always very kind and gave me a big smile when she saw me which made me feel welcomed,  but then she would call me Mongito and that made me feel that I was part of her family.

We will miss her.

Ramon, Lourdes, and Mayito





Tia Hilda fue un ser muy lindo que tuve el honor de conocer en persona y a traves de las memorias de la familia desde que naci aun estando lejos. Una mujer clara, sincera y de muy buen humor. Se que fue excelente madre, abuela y tia. Te extrañaremos.

"Tia Hilda" that's the name I knew her by from the day I was born.  I was baptized on her wedding day, at the same church that my Tio Felo and her were married, only minutes apart.  
Visiting their house was always a happy time, Tia Hilda, Tia Aida and Tio Felo always received us with a big smile, besides, they had our  little cousins, and I loved to play with them when we went to Guanabacoa.  Life kept us geographically far apart, but it was always great to see her when in Florida.  Regardless of when I managed to show up, her door was always open, her smile always there for me, and she made me feel welcome. We would sit and talk for long periods of time, and together we would take apart old family memories, we would laugh and giggle, then say good bye "until the next time...". 
I will remember her as a person with tremendous strength of character, a fair human being and an admirable woman who knew how to create a tightly knit family built on love and the example she set, yet  she still managed to keep the spark of a mischievous child in her eyes. . .
Tia Hilda will be missed, I cannot imagine not seeing her there in her "post" checking on everything, and on everyone, but we also know she left peacefully and she will be greeted by many loving souls already waiting for her in Heaven to celebrate her arrival and her birthday today Sept 20th.
Rest in peace Tia Hilda, until we meet again! 

To our Dear Sweet Aunt Hilda:  My dad, Dr. Ulises C. Alvarez, was your brother.  He loved you so much and you loved him!  I can still recall his excitement to hear that you were able to come from Cuba.  We rushed to Miami as soon as we could.  He was so happy to be re-united with his wonderful sister after so many years.  I have bragged about you to my friends for all that you had to endure in your life but how you were able to succeed in this wonderful country and always were happy and loved everyone.  Even though English was never a strong suit for you everyone of your clients at the pharmacy loved you (although I am sure most of them spoke Spanish!).  You were always so loving to me, my wife Patti and our children.  Even though there was a language barrier there was an intense love between you all when we were able to visit you.  Your infectious smile and laugh will always bring a smile to my face and to my heart.  God has a new angel and you have a lot of family waiting to receive you in heaven.  We love you and we will miss you but we will always carry you in our hearts and minds.  Your loving nephew (and family): Juan, Patti, Maria and Johnny Alvarez and Elena, Travis, Nora and Oliver Shively.

There are many wonderful memories with my mother in law Hilda. 
But my favorite will be one that only her and I shared together.
In 1987, We both went walking to Tamiami park in the middle of the night with chairs to see Pope John Paul II.
The pope was able to start a mass when all of a sudden a bad storm hit. There was lightning and thunder,  but we stayed to get his blessing. He passed by us and by the time we got to her house walking we were drenched from the rain. A moment I will never forget! 

Loved the photos, they brought back so many loving memories!
I will never forget my Aunt Hilda as she will always have a part of my heart. 
Ulises M Alvarez (Ulisito)
