Catherine Bowe Hillard — 1 January 2022

Jerry I will miss you so much. You have been such a wonderful, constant presence in my life and the best friend our family ever had.I asked you a couple of years ago whether you ever regretted leaving Ireland.In your rich brogue you said Not for one minute. I especially remember one night you comforted me after Dad passed and cited a poem about a girl fromMelbourne town who should not cry in my autograph book. Such precious memories of a great man.Rest peacefully, now.xxxxCathy or as you said Cattyxx
