Hildred Balbirsingh (September 17th, 1924-February 10th, 2019)
I had the honor of writing and presenting my grandmother's Eulogy at her funeral in Santa Cruz, Trinidad on Friday, March 1st. As you may already know if you're a long-time reader of my blog, my grandmother and I had a very close relationship. My name is Lesley-Ann and I am one of Hildred Balbirsingh’s 10 grandchildren. Mummy Hildred transitioned on February 10 th , 2019. She was the faithful wife of Ewart G. Gladstone for 50 years and survived him by 25 years. She is survived by her five children Beryl, Bernice, Stephen, Beverly & Vincent. Her ten grandchildren: Shelley, Gerry, Tessa, Junior, Camille, Tami, Jason, Marvin, Dominic-Savio and myself. She also is the great grandmother of Gerard Jr. , Renee, Maya, Talia, Kai, Kaii, Benjamin, Gabriel Savior, Geriah and Ryuta. She is also the great great grandmother of Sidney Stinson. Thank you all for coming to celebrate her life. My grandmother was born here in Santa...
