  1. Hilda, you will be very sadly missed by everyone who had the good fortune to know you. A kind, gentle soul with nothing but love and compassion. We shared so many happy times together with you and your beautiful family and you will live on in our memories forever. It won’t be the same when we come to visit but I promise we will always talk about you and remember you with a smile – you won’t be far away.

    Rest easy dear lady with your lovely Clive and your gorgeous little dog – earth has lost a shining light but the night sky has one more bright, twinkling star above.

  6. Dear Carol and family,

    My heartfelt condolences on the loss of your mom, Hilda. It has been many years since I last saw Hilda and her late husband, Clive (my first cousin). However, seeing her photos on Facebook, I was struck by how recognisable she remained—she aged so gracefully. Take comfort in knowing that Hilda is now reunited with Clive in a better place.

    Thinking of you all during this difficult time.

  8. My beloved sister Hilda
    Hilda has always played a major role in my life. Being 16 when I was born Hilda became my second
    mother, guiding me through my childhood years.
    I resented her bossing me around and telling me what I should do. Due to the age difference people
    often joked that she was my mother, something that both of us aggressively denied.
    There was only the two of us until Carol was born when I was 9 and Derrick when I was 10.
    As Hilda and I grew older we developed a closer and strong relationship especially after Clive passed
    away so suddenly.
    When I think of Hilda I see a very kind, soft hearted person, always willing to help the needy. She
    spent hours knitting and crocheting for different charities.
    We would chat via WhatsApp 2 to 3 times every single day. I knew exactly what she was doing and
    vice versa.
    Her passing away has left a huge empty hole in my life which will never be filled. I miss you every day
    my sis.
    Hilda had strong Christian values and I therefore know that her life would carry on after death.
    Love you, Hilda my dear sister. You will always be part of me.
    Your little sister, Cheryl.

  9. Hilda was a member of our Oasis BereavementGroup of which I am a leader, but she also became a special friend who lived near to me..She visited me often and loved my cat Lucy, even crocheting a lovely blanket for her.She was such a beautiful, kind lady showing love and care to everyone she knew.We have spent many happy times and I especially remember a visit to the New Forest for a horse and carriage drive which she loved.She will be missed by so many and always remembered.

  10. Dear Hilda
    We talked and laughed twice a day sharing the excitement of the day. You were the breeze of fresh air that made each day as precious as a gem stone.
    During those conversations I had never doubted your compassion and love for the needy and your friends. You are the most honest person that I know. Your answer would be that it is debatable but we both know that it was your passion to serve others unconditionally.
    We laughed whenever you mentioned that you want to swim with the dolphins. We were in agreement that it would not be possible as you can not swim.
    The pillars of your strength is nestled in your strong believes as a Christian. The foundation of your life has always been the acceptance of the Lord as your Saviour.
    You often spoke about Carol, Derrick, Trevor and Tristan. How you loved them unconditionally and equally. I know this because you told me so.
    Now it is time for me to say goodbye to you, Hilda. You must enjoy your new life and I know that you are in great hands. God will always be with you. You will always be in my thoughts.
    I love you.
    P.s. I will look after your little sister, it’s a promise.

  11. Hilda, you leave behind a legacy and dear ones whom I know are missing you and always will do. You were there for my son when I couldn’t be. You were there for me when there was no one else. You have experienced heartache a
    nd yet you never stopped caring about others. You are one special lady and I will miss all your regular messages and updates on your beautiful life in the UK.
    Loved and missed.

  12. Happy ‘New Birth’ day Aunty Hilda!
    I know you will be very happy in your new home with JC.
    I remember your:
    Gentleness, always smiling face, love for animals, caring for the elderly, continuous knitting, owl collection, amazing cut-out picture library responsible for many A+ scores on my assignments.
    You were the one who introduced me to freezing bread and a face cleaning routine at a cosmetic party.
    Thanks for being another mom for me while I was growing up.

  18. My friendship with Carol dates back to 1980. I have known Mr and Mrs Alexander since then. In August 2022 I visited Carol and Trevor in the UK. It was fabulous to see how well Aunty Hilda had settled. A quick walk into the village to volunteer at her charity shops or attend crochet club, kept her active. She had a wonderful circle of friends and most of all she was safe and loved.
    Her passing just a few weeks after her 80th birthday came as a shock. Knowing how loved she was and that she lead a fulfilled life during her 7 years in the UK must bring some comfort to those who loved her.
    Now reunited with Uncle Clive after 9 years.
    RIP Aunty Hilda.
    Condolences to Carol, Derrick and their families ❤️ 💙 💜

A truly lovely soul who I’m sure you will deeply miss, but rest in the peace that she is at home with Jesus. I can hear Aunty Hilda’s sweet voice now, always so kind and caring. Sending lots of love
