Dear Friends,



With sadness suffused by joy, I write to share that our beloved friend and sister Alice von Hildebrand went home to the Lord at 12:25am this morning. She died peacefully at home after a brief illness.



Those who knew Lily often heard her say that the wick of her candle was growing ever shorter. In fact, she yearned for death — to see the face of Our Lord, to be reunited at last with her husband Dietrich, her parents, her dearest friend Madeleine Stebbins — with the peace that only true innocence and profound faith can grant.

We will announce details of the funeral in due course.



Faithfully and Gratefully,

John Henry Crosby

President & Founder

Farewell to Alice von Hildebrand (1923 - 2022)

Not to take a single thing away from Alice, but to suggest that the great Alice be remembered along with the great Dietrich. I think both of them were models of clarity in these foggy times.

Perhaps a good way would be to read her book about her husband 'The Soul of a Lion: The Life of Dietrich von Hildebrand'
