Hilda and Thelma John 2014


Hilda John, an inmate of the Dorothy Crostwaithe Homes, who had old-age health problems passed away the same day as George Gunther during the hottest days this summer (2014).
 Her younger sister, Thelma, had passed away several months earlier.
I came to know the John family in the 1970's when they lived in Khandari Lane, Lalbagh Lucknow. The father, who had worked for the MES, had already passed on. There were the mother, eldest brother, Terry and Hilda and Thelma. Brother Gerry, who drove a cab and was the first of the siblings to pass on was married and was survived by his wife, Rita nee Vance, a daughter and three (?) sons.
