So sorry to learn of Hilda's passing, my Condolences go to the Family, I hope you have some wonderful memories. I will miss the Bus and Car Trips we had over the Years, and the Visits Brian Pears and I did to Hilda at Bupa. We had some Lovely Talks together. I first met Rex in the Late 40s when staying over the Road, and Hilda when they Married. I Admired Hilda's Painting's when on display, She was a Talented Lady, and will be missed by all.

Hilda was a beautiful artist and so thrilled to share her love of watercolour with me, even when it was hard for her to see. Her encouragement and support was so impactful for me and i will never forget her generosity for this. Every time I look at a Winter Rose, I will think fondly of Hilda. Condolences to her family, I was very sad to see she had passed.
