We lived across the hall from Hilda in the apartment building in Tottenham. We had great fun with Hilda and will remember her sense of humour always. Henry played cards with Hilda each Monday. Both of us extend our sympathies to the entire family. Hilda will be missed by you all. Sincere condolences for your loss.

What a wonderful Aunt!! She always welcomed us to her home and was full of life and giggles. My late husband David appreciated being given an area in their yard to work on his sailboat and had great fellowship with his uncle George. Hilda always sent us greetings on special occasions like Christmas and birthday with humour and encouragement. Many times I remember playing Shanghi Rummey with her after a delicious meal. Yes, great memories of one special lady. May the God of joy, peace and comfort add His blessing in this time of grief. Love Jean Ann

My condolences to Tom, Cathy, Jack and their families. Sorry to hear about Hilda passing away. I vaguely remembered when you guys lived up the road from us but later in life Hilda lived down the hall from me in Tottenham. It was always a pleasure to be with her. She will be dearly missed.
