To Matilda's family: I have never met your mom but I feel like I have known her for years. Matilda is a warm, special person who was very patient, kind and understanding in helping us in the oil & gas industry with royalty issues. She was a wealth of information and I will miss the chats that we had. My deepest sympathy to all of you and yours. May you have peace and comfort during your time of sorrow and know that Matilda was precious to many.

My Dear Cousins;
My heart goes out to you at this time and in the days ahead. Some of my earliest and fondest memories are that of my dear Auntie Matilda. She was an absolute gift to us and an everlasting hole will be left in my heart and the hearts of many with her passing. I will treasure my memories of her and always remember her warm heart and kind nature. I love you Auntie!!!
My love to you all.

Cindy, Lance & Family, I am very sorry for your loss. When I came to Gas Royalty, Matilda was always there ready to help me when I didn't know what I was doing and if she didn't know she would stop everything and go find out. We shared alot of laughs and stories. She was very proud of her children and grandchildern, her eyes would light up when she spoke of you. I will miss her dearly but know that she is in a better place and she will still keep her eye on us from above. To a very wonderful Lady.

Cindy, Lance & Family,sorry for your loss she was a wonderful Lady. She was always willing to sharing her knowledge and if she didn't know the answer she would go find it for you. She always was wanting to share her food with you even if you had your lunch. She was very proud of her family and you could see her eyes light up when she spoke of you. I will miss her smiling face but know she is in a better place looking down at us. My thoughts and prayer are with you.

To the Family of Matilda;
I had the pleasure of sitting next to your mom here at the GRCU for the past year and there wasn't a day that would go by that we didn't share a laugh or two or three. She was very special to me and she is very much missed. My deepest sympathies to you all.

Cindy, Lance and family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you. Your Mom was a very special lady and I will miss our little chats about family. Matilda was always there for anyone who needed her and making us brownies. We will miss her here at the Department of Energy but she will always be in our hearts.

To all of Matilda's family,
I will never forget how warm she welcomed me to Gas Royalty and her amazing words of advice and encouragement. I am truly honoured that I got to work with such a beautiful person like Matilda. She will be forever in my heart and in my thoughts (along with you her family). I will deeply miss her.

Condolences on the loss of this wonderful lady. I had the privilege of meeting her through her role in Client Support at Alberta Enery. She was always helpful and knowledgeable, and had a unique sense of humour that helped me deal with some frustrating issues. She even brought some of her famous brownies on the airplane to a meeting in Calgary for us to enjoy. She will be missed by all who knew her.

My sincerest condolences to the family of Matilda. I met Matilda years ago when calling the Department of Energy for help on industry issues. She was a wonderful, helpful and caring lady who always went the extra mile. Her brownies were always a big hit around our offices. She will be truly missed.

Cindy, Lance and family - I am so sorry that your mom passed away. She was a wonderful person to work with. New people on "the desk" quickly found out that if they had a question they could always count on Matilda for an answer. She was so kindhearted. She loved to cook and we all reaped the benefits - perogys and cabbage rolls at the Gas Royalty potlucks, and of course her legendary brownies. She cared about us and we loved her for it. I'll miss her.

To the family of Matilda we express our deepest sympathy. Matilda was a joy to know. She was such an outgoing, caring person. We met her through our daughter, Tracy who worked with Matilda. Matilda was always sending brownies home for Cory and the kids who just loved her brownies. Matilda was always taking care of people she loved. She will be deeply missed.
