We have some great memories of Jill at many little league through high school baseball games where we sat on the sidelines enjoying our boys, their Dads and the games. Jill was a very fun and friendly person we all enjoyed seeing. Our thoughts are with all of you during these times..as we have not had contact over the past years and read about your loss. May the happy memories be in your hearts as they are in ours.

Dear Ron and family,
I am so sad to read about the loss of Jill.
She was a wonderful neighbor, always there with a smile or hug. Her holiday displays were always the best on the block!
Thinking of you,
