I have just learnt of the passing of my dear friend, Hilary. I am just so saddened by this news. Hilary and I met at Numurkah High School in 1961. We became such good friends. Hilary was a bridesmaid at my wedding. We didn’t see each other often over the years, however when we did meet up it was like we had never spent time apart…..we just caught up where we had left off.
Hilary was a gracious and caring person, and a true friend. I will miss her.
My deepest condolences and love goes out to Les and her boys, Robert, Peter, John and their families.
