Last May Hillary contacted me to book another artist's residency in 2021. I am shocked to learn of her untimely death. I salute her quest for creativity and all things positive in this world. My sincere condolences to her family and friends. Signed : Atelier de la Rose, France.

Hillary allowed me to know of her in 2012 when her Face Book page presented onto my screen.
That unique depth of residence when a spirit has some unknown connection of a distant knowing.
The instruction was to address her with Hi Hillary, which followed many communiques via that medium.
We both have connections to Wolf as spirit and Power Animal.
My first inkling from her Spirit occurred a week after her death when I became aware she had not posted onto her
Face Book wall, a daily occurrence for Hillary. I wondered if she had unfriended me, but no.
The last wall entry had not been changed and visions she had died, were strong.
Five nights ago I felt a strong energy in the lounge room; no spoon feeding but when
I asked, the answers was someone I know.
Today, December 24, Face Book led me to two friends having birthdays, one being Eric W. Salisbury.
A scant reply of acknowledgment to his event, but the link could not be dismissed from the e-mail screen.
The inner prompting was strong to return and review his wall which I did, and scrolling down that page I learned Hillary had left life.
She was taken from life, a four day pattern. A Sunday Birth and a Thursday Death. One of five patterns to a death's occurrence. Such spirits who are Taken, have achieved much and then more. They are path setters for the rest of us to learn from and follow.
They offer what is needed then unhesitatingly, offer more for those people who come into contact with them.
The Source takes from the fold of Earth People's lives. who remain that they can now learn to fend for themselves having been taught powerful life lessons of a unique teacher.
I am thankful for having been her Friend.

I am so incredibly sorry to read this. I knew Hillary only briefly but had hoped in time to spend more time with her. My heart is yours tonight.

Hillary was an extradionary artist and visionary who intuitively seemed to know how to create. She approached the process with an open heart like an explorer willing to take risks and chances. It was a priviledge to teach and be her mentor for a short time. She soon quickly grasp the necessary skills and naturally found her many modes of artistic expression. Her vision was clear, steady, and with purpose. She was ahead of her time - a true renaissance. She will be greatly missed.

I am very saddened to hear this news. I met Hillary back when we were both hosts on The Achieve Radio Network. We developed a friendship and were guests on each other's programs. She was such a bright light, always willing to lend a helping hand. My condolences to her family, she will be missed by all who had the pleasure to meet her.
