I had the privilege to know Jilda as a student at the Barnes School and a camper at the East Boston Camps. Years later I worked with her children at the Umana/Barnes.
My thoughts and prayers are with her family at this time. My being in Florida prevents my attending her wake and Mass.

So sorry for the loss of Jilda. She is in all my class photos from kindergarten on through elementary school. I will always remember her as that little girl with the big laugh and silly sense of humor
