Hilary will be greatly missed. We've been friends since Sam and I moved in next door to Hilary's Father (Tom Brookes) 54 years ago. She was such a vibrant energetic individual.....always seemed to be younger than her age. May she rest in peace.

Aunt Hilary had a life well-lived and was well-loved. As well as being a good and kind person, she had a wry sense of humour and a quick wit. As I was growing up, I admired her progressive views. She was a crackerjack, and we will all remember her fondly. David was a devoted and loving son and will miss her greatly.
