Latest Sympathy Notices
I am sorry and saddened to learn of Hilary's passing. She was an amazing Lady and unique character, smart, compassionate, kind, loyal, vibrant and fun with a mischievous humour. She had a passion for saving annimals, and would spend hours searching for and helping stray cats, going out late at night, in all hours and weathers, to feed and care for them. She was an amazing Mum to Ross, whom she loved dearlly and who was her absolute world.
Thinking of you Ross and sending you much Love. Be sure your Mum will be watching over you. xo

Dear Ross,
I was deeply saddened to hear of your mum, Hilary’s, passing. I had the privilege of working closely with her on our module. She was a wonderfully supportive colleague—kind, generous with her time, and deeply committed to her students and to those she worked with.
Please accept my heartfelt condolences at this difficult time. I hope you can take some comfort in knowing how much she was admired and appreciated by her colleagues. Her warmth and professionalism left a lasting mark on our community, and she will be greatly missed.
Wishing you strength and peace,
Ofer
