Mr. Cusak,
Please accept our most heartfelt sympathies The loss of your mother…our thoughts are with you and the your family during this difficult time.
A very special lady –
I will always remember my visits with Aunt Hilda. Sometimes we would go out to dinner other times we had dinner at home always ending with "a cup of tea and cookies" before heading for home. She always expected a call when I got home to let her know I was safe.
Sweet memories of this special aunt will remain in my heart forever…….Linda
Hilda was a beloved Red Sox fan who would love giving it to Doc about the rivalry with his Yankees and especially enjoyed the Red Sox winning it all in 2004. She was always smiling when I visited, and would offer a cup of tea and seemed to be happiest when entertaining. She will be sadly missed by all, and especially Red Sox generation. May she be reunited with her family in heaven and live on in our memories.
To John And Rosemarie and entire Cusack family
sorry for your loss, never easy losing a parent or any family member
my thoughts and prayers are with you
