Jill,

You will be missed by many. I have memories of you helping me when I was twelve years old, about young lady things and grooming. And when my first baby (Linda) was born and I was so young and worried about her little diaper rash and you suggested I use a product named Desitin and from then on I worried no more. Little things maybe, but they made such a big difference. I, also, remember when I would visit you and play with Paul when he was little and for supper you made us your delicious spaghetti and meatballs. I still think about that wonderful dish of yours at times. One more thing I want you to know, I always admired how immaculate a housekeeper you were and when I got married I tried to emulate that.
Funny, you never really know how much of a contribution someone has made in your life until you really think about it. For all your help, I thank you and may God hold you in his loving hands forever.

Love,

Your sister-in-law Diane
