When Norah called to tell me Hilda died, I went to Mass that day. Coming into the church Fr. Dominic was just starting his homily-"when you are born you are a gift from God and the day you die, you become a gift to God.) Hilda had many gifts she shared with her family, husband, children, her grandchildren, and daughter, sons and wives and grandchildren. She shared all their celebrations in many gatherings she put together for everyone to enjoy each other's company (in Freehold and O.C.) She was happy in the life she led in the Bronx, Ireland and N.J. All who knew her and Jerry, too; we will have to miss the get-togethers; their love of conversation, music and traditions. Hilda will be missed by so many who loved her. Hannah sent me this (an Eskimo proverb-Angels) - "Perhaps they are not stars but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to le us know they are happy."

I am so sorry for your loss. Aunt Hilda will be deeply missed. The Reilly Family will have a hole in their hearts forever, especially Eileen.

My deepest condolences to the Conti Family. Hilda and I worked together for many years at Bell Labs. She had a great sense of humor. We shared so many laughs with one another to get through the busy days. I have many good memories of Hilda and I know she will be missed by family and friends.

To my dear cousins and your beautiful families, Aunt Hilda was the epitome of what a daughter, sister, wife, mother, nana, aunt and friend should be. She had a huge heart and loved everyone dear to her to the uttermost. I always looked up to her in many ways, but mostly because she was so genuine and sincere in every area of her life. I have so many wonderful memories of her, Uncle Jerry, and all of you especially of Ocean City that I will treasure always. I know your hearts are heavy with your profound loss, but also because of the treasure trove of love and memories she leaves with you. I know you will treasure them always. I miss her dearly! My love to each and everyone of you. Maureen

Our deepest condolences go out to the entire Conti and extended families. Hilda and Jerry were always such shining examples of how to live one's live with grace, humor and faith. Hilda was so kind and generous. We consider ourselves so very fortunate to have had this amazing family's influence in our lives for so long. This is truly a loss that will be felt in our hearts forever. The memories of the love, music , and laughter that filled their home will be one greatest treasures of my life. Heaven's light is a bit brighter today. All our love Brian & Susie
