I first met Hildred 25 years ago after my daughter, Natalie, was born with Down Syndrome. She had just retired from Children's Hospital and I was looking for someone special to help me with my growing family. When I asked Hildred how she felt about caring for a child with special needs, she emphatically replied, " I love ALL children." That is what I wanted to hear and Hildred signed on to help me raise all three of my children; Natalie, Andrew and David. She loved them like her own and was always there when I needed her and I am eternally grateful to have had her in our lives.
