I'm so sorry. I just found out today after I goggled Hilary. I didn't hear from her last Christmas and she always mailed her cards December 1! I will miss her. She worked with me at the San Diego Tumor Institute and joined me in Amway for years. She was so sweet! I went to medical assisting school with her at Mesa and we graduated together. She always talked about her sons and Qualcomm and daughter Jennifer and Robert. I miss her so much.
