My beloved Hilary.....

The most extraordinary and beautiful person left us on Tuesday 26 June 2007. Our beloved Hilary passed away at about 1415. She had no pain and was in a deep sleep. She looked completely tranquil and beautiful and was surrounded by her close family.
It is unbearably sad...
She had a simple fall while riding near our home in France on Thursday, but with catastrophic consequences. She received magnificent treatment in Angers but could not be kept with us.
She was doing something she really enjoyed and was the newest challenge in a life of responding to challenges.... I am overwhelmed with grief as you will understand.

To hear Hilary talking about the central struggle of her life against injustice in South Africa go to http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/womanshour/03/2006_19_wed.shtml
My favourite of many pictures... soon after we met in 1986
