A lovely friend that will be missed. Hilda was a kind and caring person that brightened my days. We had a lot in common as we came from the same area. My thoughts are with Melanie & family. A beautiful service that did your mum, grandma & great grandma knitting proud.

Dear Auntie Hilda, We were so grateful to be able to see you last week with Melanie- what a wonderful grand daughter, she has always been there for you. Thinking of all the happy memories over the years. Mount Pleasant Chapel was very special for us both - Uncle Harry and yourself living in such a beautiful place- and then Nick and I having the same opportunity taking over as caretakers for over 3 years . I have treasured memories of my 3 visits to New Zealand . How lucky was I to spend such special times with you . Rest in peace now with all your dearly loved departed family now with you in heaven. Fondest love, Elizabeth , Nicholas and family xx Cheshire, UK.

Dearest Auntie Hilda You have been 'Simply the Best' We have shared so many happy memories especially at Mount Pleasant Chapel and at functions in the Institute You organised so many good times Time spent with you in NZ in Feb 2010 with you as my tour guide was amazing Give my Dad your much loved brother Alan a big hug and kiss from me Many people in Foulridge are saddened by your passing but are thankful to have known you and remember you with affection Rest in peace now your work is done Fondest Love Val Frank & Family xx 💞 UK

Dear Hilda always had time to listen, she was interested in us and interesting to listen to. Funny, kind,generous , loyal and feisty enough to take on any council or committee that needed sorting out! An absolute gem and such a privalege to have shared time with her. RIP Hilda xxxxx

To Aunty Hilda, Rest In Peace knowing that you touched so many people’s hearts, and although you have been so far away for many years living a fantastic life with your family, you were always in our thoughts and mum always let me know any news after your regular phone chats. Give a massive hug to my grandma, your Sister Ethel for me, you will never be forgotton. Love Karen, Nigel & Ella 💖💖

So many memories, words alone cannot really express my thoughts and feelings. From family holidays together, family gatherings at my mum's, church services at Mount Pleasant(with lovely afternoon teas) to the last time I saw Auntie in Rotorua 2011, our regular phone chats since she emigrated. She will always be in our thoughts somewhere, so sorry I cannot be there.

To begin to try to put into words the love , understanding and feeling of family you bring to us all is incomprehensible. Thank you for accepting me as a grandson, loving us for who we are and just being you. The memories we have will be treasured forever, Rest in Peace Grom x
