Dear Paul and family, Your mother was such an inspiration to all of us at Vision Travel. I loved to listen to her chat with her clients about their travel arrangements. Always up to date on her information and full of enthusiasm. She spoke about her family with such pride. We will cherish our memories of our time together as I'm sure that everyone who met her will. With love

Dear Paul and family, my deepest condolences – Hilda will be greatly missed. I had the privilege of sharing your space at the office, which gave me the opportunity to observe Hilda interacting with her clients. She was a consummate salesperson, and it was clear her clients loved her and respected her opinion. A truly amazing lady, always with a bright smile and twinkle in her eye. I consider myself lucky to have spent time with her. XO

Dear Marianne and family, I am sad to read of the passing of your beloved mother. I remember her to be a pleasant and friendly woman. I did not know she was from Ostrowiec as were my grandparents. May her memory be a bit and may her neshuma have an aliya. Sincere condolences from Janet-Lee and George Nadas

Hilda was my go-to travel agent for many years. It was a lucky day when I wandered into her place of business on Yonge Street. I boasted to everyone about how much experience my travel agent had - she was doing so many complicated things into her nineties that it was astounding. She was always a pleasure to deal with and wanted to know about each of my adventures once I returned home. They don’t make ‘em like that anymore. She was such a nice lady - may she rest peace. My condolences to her family.

So sorry to hear of your mother's passing. She was a warm, caring person and wonderful wife to Melvyn and devoted mother to her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. I remember how much she enjoyed those family reunions up at the farm, and when we were members of Temple Sinai, it was good to have relatives belong as well.

So sorry to hear of the passing of your Mom. I remember her as a kind and caring woman and somehow baking is prominent in my memories of her. She was instrumental in keeping family together as I know she did with the younger generations as well. May the many happy times be a blessing in these difficult days.

Condolences to the Samuel family. My connection to the family was through Sunnybrook. Hilda's outstanding devotion to the veterans and to the organization of the synagogue and its annual Passover Seder is legend. May you take great comfort in her long life and exemplary commitment to assist others. Nani and Austin Beutel

Sincere condolences to Marianne, Bill, Paul (Annie) and their children. Hilda was a lovely lady who was generous, warm and kind. We spoke every few months and she always reminded me that my dad (Marvin Singer) was her first cousin and that made us family. She was a wealth of information on many subjects. We spoke only twice since Mel passed away, but she was always in my heart. I'll miss those calls. May she rest in peace.

Dear Annie, Paul and family, I'm sending you my heartfelt condolences on the loss of your beloved mother. It's been many years since we were next door neighbors on Mortimer Court. I remember your parents fondly coming to visit you, a newly married couple back then. We never discussed our roots, but reading that your mother was born in Ostrovietz, touched me, because my father was born there as well. May your mother's memory be blessed and may you know of no more sorrow.
