Hilary, I only learned today that you had left us. My heart is breaking, though I haven't seen you in more than 20 years. I always thought you were the best of us,.

The world is emptier without you in it, and I grieve with your family as you grieved with me at my own mother's passing..

I didn't know you Hilary, but you were raised by good people. I haven't known your husband, your children, or your in-laws, but I am sure they were a blessing in your life. I am confident that you were a blessing in their lives as well. I am sad for those who are left behind. I am sad that the moments of life don't linger. I am sad that we all have to say goodbye for an indefinite period of time at some point. It is the fragility of memory which, perhaps, pains us the most. I can only wish your memory endures, and that the feelings that evokes will elicit both a sense of comfort, as well as sorrow, in the coming years. Goodbye, Hilary, until we meet again.

Dear Steve & your children, My heart aches for all of you for your loss of Hilary. Wife & Mom. I was so surprised to hear of her passing! I only meet her once, But she left a lasting impression with me. I could see how much Love there was between the two of you! Had such a great time talking on the patio that same night. Getting to know her. I do know what it feels like to lose a sponse & it is a hard thing, but you will have a lot signs from her letting you know she is still with you & watching over you all. Have comfort in the memories you have. You have a lot of friends & family that will be there thru this & the days to come. Know you can count on them. Know I'm here to help in any way & to support you in the loss of your soulmate!! Always, Linda

Hilary was the most exuberant, generous, and creative person. She went well out of her way for me on many occasions. I hope she always knew how much I loved her.

Words I wish you had heard before your life was cut short:
In my tender years as a young woman, you were my idol. You took me into your life as if I were your long lost younger sister. We had so much fun together! Some of my fondest memories include, flying over the speed bumps in your VW bus, learning how to drive a stick shift in the Olympus parking lot, going to outdoor concerts in Park City, and watching the meteor shower up in the mountains. And how can I forget all those times we wrestled for fun! I strategized many hours on how I could pin you. Thank you for allowing my to pin you, only if it was just once! Thank you for teaching my how to "set the hole" in water polo. You gave my the courage and confidence to play with the "big kids", a courage and confidence I still owe to you. You were the mother of our team, kind, caring, dedicated, hard working, and free of drama. I will never forget those precious times and the lasting influence you have had on my life.

The first time I met you was in December a year and a half ago. I had just experienced some rough patches in life and my heart was very heavy. You welcomed me and my kids into your home, ordered pizza and we visited while the kids played nerf guns wars forever. Your heart and mine shared some similarities as did our trials. We instantly connected on a special level that most understand. You made me feel loved, understood and my kids still talk about playing with your kids and how much fun they had. I remember chatting a few times on the phone and how much I related with you. You have a genuine, pure and amazing heart. I felt it. That New Year's Eve party I was in awe yet again at your beauty, kindness and warmth. You touched my soul for the better and have been in my heart ever since. I get it. Not many do but I do and from my heart to yours, I will forever be my journey to make a difference where I can. Love you and your family more than I can express. Be my angel if you would, I need one. -Ali

We met in the summer of 2005 when your young family moved to Iowa for medical residency. Little did I know that you would quickly become the best friend I ever had. I don't say that lightly. We shared a bond of friendship instantly and my life was forever changed by your wit, sarcasm, humor, and free spirit. We shared our parenting and marital woes and triumphs. We went new places with our young kids and hit Iowa City's hot spots with vigor and enthusiasm while our kids made lifelong friends in the back if your minivan. . Our husbands quickly became as close as we were and I'm pretty sure we spent more time at your house than our own. There was never an ounce of awkwardness, competition, or insincerity in our interactions. You coached me through heartbreaking moments and I only hope that I even helped a fraction as much as you helped me. I know that life circumstances caused a misunderstanding between us but I fervently hope that you knew that my love and concern for you did not change even during that time. My only regret is that I wasn't there for you when you were struggling the last few years. I would have done anything to have helped ease your pain. I think you know that my friend. You were never far from my thoughts and I hoped for a reconciliation after some healing had occurred. Forgive me Hilary for not knowing how short your time was. You taught me so many wonderful lessons about motherhood, life, trials, and above all, the true meaning of friendship. I am forever changed because you were my best friend. I'll never be the same without you. ..I will love you always.
Sarah

Hilary, I love you and will miss you dearly. I can never tell you again how grateful I am that you relentlessly advocated for me growing up. We had so many fond memories together. I am also deeply saddened that you cannot meet Lily who entered this world on the day you left. I wish you can rest in peace and a spirit of love and lucidity washes over your remaining family members.

Your little brother,
Tony

Sweet Hilary, some of my best memories are with you. I loved making and eating Lemonade Salad with you and then making and eating Ceasar salad too. I loved cruising around in your VW van and hitting all the speed bumps. I loved watching you play water polo and seeing your incredible skills and dedication. Thank you for bringing me to the Gospel and for allowing me to feel love of the Lord and the Savior and build my testimony; I will never be able to thank you enough for helping me to know that the Gospel is true. I love you sweet friend.
