Condolences to the Family

I was friends with Lisa and Hilarie in high school (Lisa was in my wedding).  I loved Hilarie.  My condolences to the whole family.  She was a kind and funny person.  I am now taking care of a woman from Lititz and she tells me all about the area.  Again my condolences – Lisa and Ed – take care along with the rest of Hilarie’s family.
