We are very sad to hear of Milda's passing and she will surely be missed.
We have a trailer at Silverstone Camping and have been there for almost 20 years.
Milda would always make a point of saying hello whenever she passed our trailer and she would always make you smile and laugh.
She was a kind and caring person and one of her favourite sayings was ! Love you like ice-cream , she always told you that she loved you and we would say it back. She was a beloved fixture at Silverstone and all the people staying there will miss Milda.
May she rest in peace , she is definatley one of god's angels now.
Love you Millie. xxo

Dear Aunt Milda,
We are infinitely sad about your death, and miss you very much.
As long as you were spared from serious illness you have kept regular contact with Astrid and myself.You have also considered our children. We still like to think thankfully of your invitations and visits to you in Toronto, the cottage, and your home. You were always friendly and generous to us. This also resulted from your deep connection to our mother Stephania Herr, your favourite sister. When you as a young child, burned your esophagus with lye, our mother cared for you, carried you around, comforted you and relieved your pain.
Since you were admitted to hospital, contact with you was no longer possible due to your illness. We would have liked to talk to you and to see you again.
Unfortunately we cannot attend your funeral due to health and family reasons. This hurts us a lot.
Rest in peace, from all your hard work in life from morning until night.
We will not forget you, and will cherish you.
Remembering you with love,Astrid Meinert and Adolf Herr and families.

Dear Aunt Milda,

it has already been 10 years, but yet it feels not that far away that I had the chance to meet you for a second time in my life. For someone who grew up losing all his grandparents at a young age, it was special to meet someone with the same warm heart – a truly loving and caring personality. It was then that I realized how much you had in common with my grandmother Stefanie Herr – as I understood your favorite sister.
These 10 years ago, I was living in Canada -with my two friends Lutz and Niclas- and I was very excited to meet my family on the other side of the ocean again. We are all still very grateful for how you as well as Susan, Alan & family made us feel welcome. We had great times with all of you. I especially remember how strong and full of life you were when you and Bob showed us around. It was clear how much it meant to you to do that; and that meant a lot to us. We young boys couldn’t believe that after a very long and exhausting day with lots of travelling to different places, going to the casino and coming home way past midnight from our trip, you still got up at 6 am in the morning and took care of your garden. In my memory that stands for what kind of a person you were. You always worked hard in your life to achieve your goals and dreams, but you also always took care of people and family. This is the person that all three of us and of course all of our family in Germany will remember you for; and I think this a quality that has been deeply rooted in our family.

It makes me deeply sad that I didn’t have the chance to come over again and to see you a last time, especially since my next visit to Canada will not be far in the future.

Rest in peace, Aunt Milda.

Your Tim (with Lutz and Niclas)
