  1. She was a great lady who will be sorely missed by her family here in the U.S. I'm so glad we all got the chance to get to "know" her when she visited. She was able to live life to the fullest and really get a kick out of even the littlest things. I'm so glad she got a chance to visit here and in Australia. Love you, Hilda! Nancy

  5. Hilda had a way about her that made everyone feel special. Even my co-worker remembers Hilda for the advice she offered her when she just got a new puppy. We saw my PT asst. Linda because she happens to live in a house right next to where Mom and Dad met on Chadwick St. in Bradford, MA and we were driving by on a tour with Hilda. I was glad Hilda could visit my house, she loved animals and always spoke of my cats ! I have a nice picture of her and Mom outside my front door that I will look for. Joanne
