To the Rantisi family: Gus, Rami, Jumana, Ghadah and Ghadeer, I want to extend my love to you all. My condolences go out to you all because I was a witness to what a wonderful mother and wife Hilda was. She was so loving and she would have done anything for her family. Growing up across the street from you all was always so much fun, coming over everyday and eating what she had cooked was the best! I loved Hilda like she was my other mom too because she took care of me also. She fed me and if we went anywhere together she would buy me something too. I know this is a difficult time for you all but you should consider yourselves blessed because you all were fortunate enough to have such a strong woman in your life to guide you all and love you unconditionally. I just want to tell you all to trust in the Lord and lean not on your own understanding. I wish I could be there for you all to grieve with you. Stay strong and may God add a special Blessing to each one of you. Love, Telia M. Alexander
