Please take a moment to sign the guestbook for the family.

Hipolito, Belinda (nee; Toledo)
Sassy, bold with an infectious smile that is always in style -- A beautiful wife always at her husband's side, a mother who loved her children unconditionally, a dedicated Lola always catering to each and everyone of her grandchildren. A cherished friend giving her smiles to everyone and her heart to only one.
Peacefully passed away on Wednesday, March 9, 2016 at the age of 77 surrounded by her family. Her beautiful life will forever be cherished by her beloved husband Ben for 51 years who committed his heart soul in caring for her during her illness. The imprint of her beauty will forever be found in the lives of her children Marichu (Sam), Marita (Martin), and Glenn (Stephanie). She was blessed with six wonderful grandchildren Marco, Kristina, Victoria, Julia, Alissa, and Noah. She will be greatly missed by her in laws Socrates and Amy, Rey and Mila, Lori and Serge, Jesse and Orpha, Amy and Joe, devoted nieces, nephews, John, Chris(CJ), Oliver (Meredith, Coby, Calia), Shelly (Damian, Jaden), Lisa, Michael, Paul (Sonia), and the dearest friends a person can ask for.
Many, many thanks to her children and spouses for their tireless efforts, Sam for finding countless ways to make her laugh everyday and making the impossible things possible for her. To Marco and Kristina for sacrificing so much of your days off. For your relentless perseverance in keeping her comfortable and by the many coffee runs you happily fulfilled until her last days. To Noah for entertaining Lola with his music. Amy and Socrates, Lori and Serge, Chris, Shelley, Oliver, Meredith, Paul, Lisa and Michael for your continued love, time and support, Babette and Jun, Celia and Juanita, Pete and Precy, Manny and Lina, Edgar and Esther, Nieves, Art and Alde, Tony and Merle, Gayle, Edna, Jesse and Orpha for dedicating many hours and/or prayers by her bedside.
Thanks to Arlene for her healing efforts.
Special thanks to all who took the time from their busy lives to visit, laugh and be with her both at home and at the hospital.
It was this kind of love, compassion and respect she gave her husband and children. This was returned to her ten folds and will always be remembered.
Special blessings to the doctors and nurses at Credit Valley Hospital for their patience and empathy namely Dr. Rahman and Dr. Dessani.
“I will look after you and I will look after anybody you say needs to be looked after, any way you say. I am here. I brought my whole self to you. I am your mother.”
