I will miss Hilda. Back in my younger days, we would often go out to lunch before work or to the York Fair. It has been many years since we went to concerts together and hung out on a regular basis. But whenever we were together we were talking a mile a minute catching up and no one else could get a word in. I am so glad that Dale and Hilda found each other. What a sad end to a beautiful love story.
