  10. Heartfelt condolences to you all. I have warm, fond memories of Hilary and many photos and secret notes that Hilary would always pass in class still tucked away in my memory box. We lost touch as we got older and despite my efforts were not able to reconnect. My children know of the kind, cheeky and generous Hilary, my dear friend. My heart is sore knowing that she is no longer here with her infectious laugh and generous spirit. RIP Hilary – always remembered as a loyal, genuine, fun-loving and kind soul xxx

  12. To the Taylor family, my deepest condolences on the loss of dear Hilary. She and Frith were wonderful friends for me during my years in Bacchus Marsh and many an afternoon was spent at their home eating Coco Pops, horse riding camp, caving and Jock washing out all the mud from my jumper, Antioch days, debutante and many other memories.
    Love to all of you 💜
    Rest peacefully, Hilary. You were a wonderful friend to so many.
