Freda and I are sorry to hear of your mother’s death. I remember the summer that she arrived in Nashville and into your father’s life. As a young person it was a fairy-tale romance for me. We will not be able to visit as we are in Vancouver visiting our daughters and their families.
Thinking of you
George and Freda

I had the privilege of knowing Hilda at Riverwood where I lead an Anglican communion service monthly. She attended faithfully and often told us about her church in Bolton which she loved. She was a beautiful lady and we will miss her.
Please accept my sympathy in the loss of your mother.

I send my sympathy and my prayers on the passing of Hilda. I knew her for many years as a fellow parishioner at Christ Church, and missed her when she was no longer able to attend. She was so deeply involved here at the church, and all of us have memories of times shared with Hilda. Knowing that you, her family, have different and even more memories, I keep you in my prayers.
