    To the Grose Family:

    So sorry to hear of the passing of your Mother. Ron and I used often see your parents at dances. They were always such a friendly couple, and I enjoyed chatting with her at the Bethel Church supper last fall.
    I regret not being able to attend the funeral, but I am away at this time.

    Dave and Pam:

    At times like this, it’s hard to find
    the words that best convey
    The many thoughts of sympathy
    our hearts would like to say….
    But may it somehow help to know
    that though our words are few,
    We’re thinking of you warmly now
    and share this loss with you.

    Sorry we can’t make it for the funeral. Our prayers go out to you and yor family.

    Gord and Ellen

    To all the Grose family,
    My sympathy in the loss of your wonderful mother. My memories of her include spending the night, Jan. 28, 1977 storm-stayed at your home during the snow storm that cancelled my wedding at Wesley United Church. She was always very kind to me, and will be missed.

    Grose Family… I saw this and thought of Hilda –
    She gave the gift of laughter
    and dried her share of tears.
    She left her mark on many lucky lives
    throughout the years.
    She spread a lot of love around.
    She shed a world of light.
    And in the memories she left,
    her spirit still shines bright.
    *Wishing you the light of love, the warmth of memory, and the comfort of knowing that Hilda will be remembered always.

    Dear Grose family:
    My sincere and heartfelt condolences on the loss of a very loved lady. To have been able to celebrate her 90th with all of you just a couple of weeks ago, was a gift. She will live on in all of the many wonderful memories your family has created over the past number of years, and as your little poem suggests, I am sure your dad and her are already dancing, cheek to cheek.

    Hi Everybody,

    I am so sad to hear about Hilda’s passing. I often think about her and wish I could have seen her more. She had such a great spirit and was the only person I’ve ever met who looked younger and younger the older she got! What a matriarch to lose! I will see you tomorrow. Take care.
