    Deb and family; Words cannot describe the sorrow I am feeling thinking of you as I learned of Mom's passing. I know with all my heart what Hilda meant to you. Your devotion and unparalleled love is surely what kept her as lively as she was. I remember her witty sense of humor, having spent many a day with her. She was just an all around sweet loving lady. She will be sincerely missed and will always have a place in my heart. God bless you and may Jesus walk with you during this very difficult time. God bless you Hilda, may you rest in peace.

    Dear Debbie, Harvey, Chris and Nick, We are so very sorry to hear about your mother and grandmother's passing. We can't begin to imagine how difficult this time must be for your family. We know from your stories, Hilda was a wonderful woman and that this loss will leave a great hole in your life. But that hole will eventually be filed with the wonderful memories she left you with. If there is any way we can comfort you in your loss, please let us know because we have always felt that you folks are an extension of our family. You are strong and capable people, and even though it seems impossible right now, I know you will find a way to get through this because Hilda was in your lives. With love, Bob and Ann McGarry
