    I am so sorry for the loss of Hilliard. He was always very kind and good to me in school. I'll always remember his since of humor and his easy going way.He safely transported me to school many, many days for which I am very grateful. He died on such a special day for me, the birth of my mother, Ann Reece, who also was his teacher for a short time. She thought the world of him and always had such fond memories. I'll always believe that am a better person for knowing Hilliard. Sincerely, Teresa Reece Trantham

    May God grant you strength during this time of grief. How can I express the special place Hilliard holds in my heart. He was a gentleman, kind and loving. He was always so helpful during my days at the rock...and so talented. I left FRP 11 years ago and His presence was always one I sought out when visiting, he brought joy to my heart. I wish I could have been there yesterday. He will be greatly missed.
