2 Condolences for Hilary Eagan McNulty

  • I’m a relative who lives in Georgia and been concerned not being able to reach Hilary by phone the last several weeks. We were having phone visits and for a while unable to reach Hiliary.
    My mother Margery Moore Hutcheson was her Father’s sister and Hiliary wrote her and they had phone visits before my mother’s passing Feb. 2010.
    I so enjoyed my phone calls with Hiliary and then after her Hosp. and rehab recovery we have only had a few phone calls.
    Love care and concern for Hiliary’s family now during this time of sadness.

  • We are so sorry for your loss.
