Gilda C. Younnel

Gilda was a second grandmother to me. My 12 years as her neighbor were some of the best of my life. I feel so blessed to have known her and George. I gave birth to two boys as her neighbor, if either of them had been a girl there would have been another Gilda in this world. I know she had a very close group of friends, her French club and card club, that kept her young, I feel your loss. She always gave me a panettone from her mother's home town at Christmas, I'll search one out in her honor from here on out.

To the family of Gilda Younnel - Al and I want to extend our heartfelt sympathies to each and everyone of you re the loss of your loved one. Jill was certainly a special person and was admired by all of us from her neighborhood. We moved into our home across the street 50+ years ago meeting Jill just by chance one day walking one of our youngsters. With that meeting learned that George was her husband, who I knew from the Butcher's Union as I was employed there and helped Jill and George many times for one reason or another. It turned out to be a small world for us. We are sure she took her chalk board with her so she can carry on a conversation with George and tell him how much she has missed him! God bless you all.

Gilda was like a grandmother to me. I loved her so dearly and truly. She had me laughing at every turn. My family adored her, as well. She was so set in her ways and still so kind in having me do things her way! I will always smile with the thought of her and George. I am blessed to have so many memories, hugs and kisses from the wonderful Gilda Younnel. My condolences to the families.
