Aunt Hilda was a very warm and loving person who endlessly devoted herself to her family till her departure. I miss the days and recall them often of her and Uncle Izzy in Pittsfield at picnics at our house and holidays here and in Boston where we would all be together and enjoy each other's company, not to mention the delicious food she and our family would make. My first real memory of my life is when Hilda and Izzy as well as the rest of my immediate and extended family attended my 2nd birthday party, which I am lucky to have on videotape and view often. I think Hilda's life's work is best exemplified by her three loving and devoted children, and her four doting grandsons, whom she and Izzy raised to be upstanding members of society. Her distinctive voice and presence will forever be remembered happily by me, her entire family, and anyone who ever knew her. Aunt Hilda was such a wonderful and kind person, and I miss her dearly.

To Izzy, Rita, Fran and Harvey and thier families,
It has been such a long time since I have seen any of you, I am so sorry to hear about Hilda's passing. I have such great memories from when I was a child and "playing" with Rita and Fran. Hilda was always so nice to me and my family..as a matter of fact my mother and I were just reminiscing about the fun we had when the Cohen's and my family got together.
My best to you all.
