Hilary was an inspiration to anyone who knew her. Born at 24 weeks gestation and 1 lb. 5.5 oz., she dealt with many physical burdens. She died from complications associated with Cerebral Palsy acquired from prematurity. The families are grateful for the educational and medical attention she received that enabled her to live a joyful and independent life.
