To my wonderful family,
I was blessed to have a sister like Gilda. In our adult years we learned to respect and love eachother. She will have no more pain. I will always miss her.

Cousin Mainard and Family-
Our condolences in the passing of Cousin Gilda.
I was glad I was able to see her during my visit to Chicago last year.
I have many fond memories of Gilda while growing up in Skokie/Chicago, IL.
