So many nice words for such a genuinely nice person. Hillary was worthy of these accolades; all of them and more; so many more.
We love her. We miss her. Though we cannot replace her, we can honor her memory by stepping up and stepping out for all those who depended on her advocacy. We can honor her, too, by treating others with her same kindnesses.
And, most importantly, we can hold her beloved family close, for the grief they bear will need sharing. Kelly, Sara, Garrett and Brandon. You are in our hearts and our prayers. You are not alone...never alone.
Angela, Jack and Jane, David and Johnette...all of us, we love you.

Words can't describe the heartbreak we feel as we try to work through the why's, what happened's and she was way toooo young's. Her "boys" miss her so much, the phone is too silent without her almost daily calls to just to say, "Hi! How's it going?" Just like that she was gone and we have arrived at the point of realization that it all IS REALLY TRUE, she really IS gone. Kelly and I will work hard to make sure that her boys don't ever forget her and her deep, deep love for them. Life is so much dimmer without her light. Rest in Peace dear sister, you were loved and will be missed.

Kelly and Sara,
I am so sorry for your loss. I was delighted to become acquainted with Hillary last Fall at Brandon's Birthday Party, then at Thanksgiving and Christmas. Since my first introduction, Hillary was so friendly and happy to become a friend. I was so looking forward to knowing her even better on her frequent visits to your home. I am saddened to hear of the news of her passing.
You will be in my thoughts. Please call in me if you need me to help with anything.

Rice University's School of Continuing Studies extends sympathy to Hillary's family. She was an instructor in our non-profit fundraising class and related so well to the class members. Her ratings were always stellar and students often said she was one of the best instructors they had known. She will be missed.

Dear Family and Friends,
I met Hillary for the first time on our recent Aggie cruise. She was so sweet and had an ever-present smile. Having also graduated from A&M in '88, I was stunned to learn she was no longer with us. I feel fortunate for the opportunity to have met such a kind and generous soul who did so much for the people around her. I am so very sorry for your loss.

Friends/Family of Hillary,
Of course, my deepest condolences to you and your family. I met Hillary recently on an Aggie Singles cruise where I was the host. Hillary and her nice friend Cindy were good company and we enjoyed some great meals and ship activities together. I hope you will find comfort that she really enjoyed the cruise. I will remember her for the important work she did for ChildBuilders, as well as the classy gesture of a bottle of rum that she and Cindy gave me as a "thank you" gift. I'm guessing by reading the previous posts that that was just her style. I'm sure you are proud of her. Our group from the singles cruise has gotten together and we will be making a donation to ChildBuilders in her honor.
Hillary,&

My deepest sympathy to Hillary's family and loved ones. I only knew her briefly when we volunteered together at Texas Childrens for our Junior League placement last summer. What a tragic loss for the community. My prayers are with her and her family.

How could such a young person be so wise and knowing? Hillary, you constantly amazed me with your gentle strength, compassion, evenhandedness and sincerity in every aspect of your personal and business lives. You can never replaced....only you could fill those pretty pumps you always wore...to match your wonderful wardrobe perfectly. Style was your middle name, to be sure.
I miss you terribly; your kind words, beautiful smile and warm eyes always let me know that everything would be all right. Keep smiling down upon us all and each of us will benefit from your love even now that you are with your Father in heaven.
God bless you, my dear Hillary and may God bless and comfort your family and friends during this very difficult period adjusting to a world without you. You'll always be in my heart.

Hillary was one of my very closest friends in high school. However, since I left Houston, I had only kept in touch with her through our mothers. The news of her passing has shocked me but I know heaven will be a more wonderful place with her there. I remember her big heart, her great sense of style, and her love and support for her family and friends. Thinking of you and sending my love, Kelly, in memory of your sister during this time.

Dear Kelly, Sara, and boys: I can't find the words to express the sense of loss and sadness I feel for all of you and Hillary's specical friends like Pamela, Leigh, Daniel, and SO MANY others she cared about. To me she was a wonderful friend and mentor -- truly, one of the best friends I could ever hope to have. I learned much from her about my work and life in general. I am a better person for having known and loved her. Take care of yourselves. I hope you find comfort, as I have, in knowing that the world is a better place because of Hillary.

I would like to extend my deepest and sincerest sympathy to the family of Hillary Fitzhugh. I went to college with her mother, Patsy, and was very saddened at her death also in the recent past. I did not know Hillary personally, but it is obvious that she was a very special young lady and my sincerest condolences are extended to you, Parker, particularly. We will keep you and your family in our prayers.
