Dear Hilary's family and friends,

It was with great sadness that I heard of Hilary's passing. My deepest condelenses to you and you will be my thoughts and prayers. I only knew Hilary during 7th and 8th grade, but she was, by far, the funniest person in our class. Her brought humor and generosity everywhere she went and was such a great spirit during the time I knew her. I imagine that these days are the hardest but I pray that you can take solace in that Preputul Light is now upon her. God Bless you all.
