My condolences to the entire Hila family on Mrs. Hila's passing. I was terribly saddened to hear the news, but was able to reflect on all the great memories I have of her. She was a wonderful woman - sweet, loving, kind, and generous. We still have the Xmas ball she gave to me the year of my marriage (1983), we even hung it on the tree here in Nassau. It was my life-long pleasure to have ever made her acquaintance. We will miss her… (Mike Pennell, the Bahamas)
