To my dear auntie Hilda, who was a big part of my life when I was young girl but we continued to see each other each other as she came to salon all her life . She made many friends while waiting for her appointment and enjoyed tea and biscuits and lovely chats she always said she enjoyed the company and putting the world right . Hope Hilda and my mum are having a good time with all the family who have passed. God bless you and and rest in eternal peace . Sending love to all the family at this very difficult time from Christine and family X
