Guestbook

  1. Hilary was a wonderful person. On one occasion she joined my Mum and I in a trip to the Flinders Ranges. RIP Hilary.

  2. Five to eight of us ex Girls High Waitakians have met regularly -( 3-4 monthly) - by Zoom setup & arranged by Hilary. It has been a lovely catchup friendship time & we will miss this. I'm sure we all expected Hilary's health to improve & she would enjoy a new lifestyle in her new, new villa. I guess her family were all expecting this too & will be deeply grieving the loss of a lovely loving mother & grandmother.. May God comfort us all with His deep comfort. Eleanor
