Hil. What can I say! You and Eric were always a part of our family. You were there for all of our kids births, christenings, birthdays and Christmas. You loved your visits by Ned and Leo and they loved seeing you too. You will always in our hearts. Memories are ours to keep.

Sincere condolences to Hilary’s extended family. She was of great assistance to us in the early 80’s with my sons. We kept in contact and it was so special to renew friendships when we returned to Kerang in 2014. She was a kind and caring lady, I enjoyed our chats. Illness took hold so now rest in peace dear lady, am sorry I’m not there to say farewell.
