• Carla, Pearl and family, Words are so inadequate at a time like this but our deepest sympathy and heartfelt thoughts go out to you and your family. Losing your "big sister" is one of life's sentinel events. Even if you know that she is now at peace, her death fundamentally changes your family unit. And while this is a time for grieving your loss, may remembrances of happier times spent together be with you and sustain you in the months and years ahead. I was so blessed to be a colleague and friend of Hilda's since we first met at the Misericordia Hospital in Edmonton in 1974. She was a wonderful mentor in my early years as a therapist. And we enjoyed so many fun times with her and Don. We kept connected over the years mainly by phone chats and with various visits between Winnipeg and Edmonton. I will so miss her from my life but was honoured that she enriched my life in so many way. - Posted by: Susan and Stan Muirhead (Friends) on: Jul 17, 2016

• My sincere Condolences Carla, Pearl and family. Hilda's love for you was evident each time she spoke of you. I was blessed to be her colleague and friend when we both worked at St. Boniface Hospital. While we drifted apart after my move, I continued to think of her with fondness. Hilda's amazing knowledge, analytical insight and generous spirit lent to a stimulating work environment. The Physiotherapy 'Senior Room' was often a place of professional dialogue and abundant laughter. It was a privilege to spend time with her ... sharing tales of our cats' exploits, taking semi-private horseback riding lessons, Howling with the Wolves in Riding Mountain Park, enjoying game nights and bestowing gifts, often art, to each other, My favourite, called 'Cat Pie', remains on prominent display. Such precious memories ... she will always remain in my heart and my thoughts. - Posted by: Lois Outhwaite (Former Colleague) on: Jul 11, 2016

• I would like to extend my condolences to the family at this sad time. I am a retired physiotherapist who worked with Hilda at St. Boniface for many years. She always demonstrated great dedication and caring for her patients and was always a fountain of knowledge in her areas of expertise in Respiratory and Intensive Care physiotherapy. We enjoyed many laughs both at work and outside of work. Hilda had an infectious laugh which made it hard not to laugh along with her. We maintained contact after she retired and I enjoyed meeting her for lunch (particularly at the Forks) where she would talk about her love of nature, gardening, and hiking at Birds Hill. I will miss these encounters with her but will think of her often when I go to Birds Hill or ride my bike through Fort Whyte. I was very happy to have known her and to call her a friend. - Posted by: Eva Matthew () on: Jul 07, 2016

• I am so sorry to hear of Hilda's illness and death. As a nurse at the St B, I first knew her as Don's wife, when he was ill. I later enjoyed her professional visits to our ward, as we shared the love of nature & loved to talk about what we'd seen at our feeders or on walks. To this day I cherish a lovely journal that Hilda gifted to my husband & I as we began our life together. Hilda was a kind, caring woman. I am sorry I lost touch with her when I retired. My condolences to her sisters and families, and her friends - may your good memories hold Hilda close in your hearts. - Posted by: Barb Masterman (friend) on: Jul 07, 2016

• I have only known Hilda for eight years being her neighbour but I am very fortunate to have known her. Hilda was a very warm and friendly person. I will miss the many talks we've had over gardening, the weather or the news. I am very very sorry for your loss. She is in God's hands now and will be among the angels. - Posted by: Christine Orman (Neighbor) on: Jul 03, 2016

• I am a retired physiotherapist who worked with Hilda at the HSC. I am saddened to hear of her untimely passing. I was several years her junior and remember Hilda as a very wise, patient and kind mentor. She was a true professional who cared for her patients unconditionally. Personally, she was a woman of great strength and compassion. When I remember Hilda, I think of the phrase "still waters run deep." Condolences to the family on your loss.
