Growing up I was good friends with Mrs. Hillery's son, Gerry. I spent so much time at their house that she began to introduce me to everyone as her "other son". I will always remember the warm manner in which I was welcomed into the Hillery home and the way they made me feel that I could always count on it as my home away from home. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Hillery family and I wish Mrs. Hillery eternal comfort and peace.
