To the family of Wilma Jones. May I offer my deepest sympathy at this sad time. Wilma and I worked at the Air National Guard and she was always upbeat and and a happy person. Because I could not crochet she made a little dress for me for the great grandchild I was waiting for. However he was a boy, but the dress is still a fond memory of times with Wilma. We tried to keep in touch after we both retired, and frequently talked on the phone, as well as the usual E mails. A lovely person has been called home, and she is with our father in heaven and now she is in no pain. Bobbie

Dear George, Glenda, Gloria, Jason and Family and Friends,
I was so saddened when my mother, Shirley Hilton, called me to let me know about Aunt Wilma's passing. The Hilton Family of the greater Boston area sends very heart felt sympathy to all of you. My mother, Shirley Hilton, sister of the late George Parsons, Sr., would always hear from Aunt Wilma, her Sister-in-Law, through the years, and I have been very glad to see Gloria in Hawaii a few times, George in California and here a few times and Jason here in Boston as well as their families. Our first cousins kept in touch through emails, photos, letters, cards, words from each other passed along, when the face to face get togethers were hard to do because of distance.
When I spoke to my mother, she wanted you all to know that she finds it hard to travel outside her house and would have wanted to be with you in person to comfort you, to grieve for our loss, and to thank you all for being so thoughtful to keep us aware of how Wilma was with you during her very last week.
I remember my Aunt Wilma's smile and laughter. I remember her whenever I feel the texture of the knitted afghans that she sent to our family members. She was a real sweet heart. Her children and grand children were her pride and joy.
Just so you all see the rest of our Hilton Family in representation of the flowers we have sent, we stand in support with you all in love across the miles:
With all our hearts in sympathy,
Shirley Hilton of Brighton
Pam Hilton and Gerry Dale, Emily and Jeffrey Dale and Lily Murphy ( new granddaughter) of Sudbury and South Boston and Waltham
Michael and Angie Hilton, Jennifer Abate, Chris and Mark Hilton and Family of West Roxbury
Steven Hilton and Louise Russell, Stephanie and Steven Hilton of Asburnham and Las Vegas
Beth and Tom Pellegrini, Sarah, Joe, and Matthew Pellegrini of Westwood
