It was a very saddened when I learned that Hillary had died. She was an extraordinary woman.In 2001 I was assigned at Saint Thomas More Catholic church to serve as her priest. she always made me feel welcome. She opened her home and on many occasions I was invited to have a somptuous meal with the family and every Christmas I would receive greetings cards from her and her husband Francis and of course my check was always inserted. I can hear her voice as I write saying in her Bahamian accent " Fr. Alain --- Good morning" . Hillary I miss you se dearly.Before I left the Bahamas, I did not have time to see you.Today I wish you well as you go back to your maker. May you rest in peace.

I was so sad to learn of my Aunt's passing, I hope the family quickly gets to the point where the good memories are not overshadowed by the heartache of her passing. All who knew her will surely miss her.
