Many years have passed since that day I walked into the “cosy” office of Vosper Thorneycroft in Portchester Shipyard. An interview was on the agenda. That day turned out to be a very special day, not only did I get the job, but also gained a very dear friend – Hilary. A true friend that was like my mum in the UK. Still have difficulties to understand that you’re no longer with us….. Even if I never got a chance to come over and see you and give you big and warm hugs, I’m so pleased we talked on the phone. I can still hear your voice, same old H. Despite what you were going through, you were still same old H. I bet you could still have told off the lads in the workshop! Miss you so much and love you loads! Sweet dreams Hilary xxxxx

I didn t know you that long but you were such a lovely kind lady who didn't deserve this ending. I shall remember the times we spent together and will always be thankful for you having my kids to stay with you.

An EarthAngel I was truly blessed to meet. Fly High Hilary, Sweet dreams precious lady. Tracy x
