Dear Brian, Bart, Amelia, Madeline and Clare,

I’ve been slow at putting up my comments but Hilary has frequently been on my mind since I heard the news from Lynne. At UofG we were looking at communities and how adults integrate new concepts, skills and information into their lives. Hilary was the one who was most interested in how an individual connected to the wider group. She was vivacious, thoughtful and personable. Hilary brought energy to our gatherings and was always conscious of both individual and team energy aspects. Hilary also brought perspective and wisdom – she was a person I looked up to. I remember spending happy times at your home in Guelph and enjoyed your bustling family life. It was always a joy to spend time with Hilary! Wishing you all fortitude. Sincerely, Marielle

Dearest Sullivans:

Today Brian shared with me the news of Hilary’s passing. My heart reaches out to each of you. May her spirit continue to shine on through you all. I will remember her kind words to me over the years and how she valued me as a person when we spoke. May both Hilary and you find peace.

Brian,

My sincere sympathy on Hilary’s death. I am so sorry and shocked to hear your sad news – and apologies that I did not hear it, and respond, sooner. I cannot imagine what you and the kids have been going through. My hope and my prayer is that you and they will be given the strength you need during this awful time. I am lost for anything to say, but please be assured that you will be in my thoughts and my prayers.

Bart and Clare – my deepest sympathy to you both. And of course also to Amelia and Madeline, whom I have not met.

May you all cherish the love and the memories of Hilary and feel assured of, and consoled by, her ongoing presence in your lives.

Ar dheis Dé go raibh a h-anam (Old Irish blessing: May her soul be at the right hand of God).

Barry

Dear Sullivan family,

My heart and prayers go out to you all. I know i spent little time with the family, but got to understand how great you all are. Hillary was a fantastic person, a great mother and a great friend. You are a strong family that comes from a very strong mother, i am positive you will all come out of this fine. Hillary made me re-invent my life, just by the way she looked at me. I’m sure she changed many others the same way.

Amelia, i miss you and i hope you are staying strong and continuing to smile. You have a beautiful smile that you just can’t hide. I would love to get in touch with you soon.

It was very nice to meet you all, i am glad you have become, even if small, a piece of my life.

Thinking of you all,
warm wishes,
Joe

Dear Hillary,
You have died, left your body.
I am sad,
and at the same time filled with love.
I knew you in love,and that won’t pass,
even when you are on “the other side”.
I am glad to hear your family knows that too.

It was great to know you in your dedication to spreading the knowing of our deep connectedness to life, even beyond death.

It was great to spend some time with you last year at the Constellation Intensive in Munich.

Carl

During a series of acupuncture treatments I gave Hilary, we discussed healing and health care. Months later she went out of her way to give me the copy of Grey’s Anatomy that she’d studied in school, but didn’t need anymore. I will always treasure it, and feel so grateful to be friends with her wonderful children.
