Jill today your good friend Richard Simmons passed. You truly loved his energy and you enjoyed every minute with him. He was like your older brother. I´m sure if there is an afterlife you will be getting reacquainted

I remember the last time we walked together just behind your house by the creek . You were frail but yet held on to my arm with such a strong grip. Exhausted we went back to the house where you passed out and slept. I had to catch a flight back to OC and I did not awaken you. I sensed the end approaching but I was hoping I would be back the following week. It never happened but sometimes things don´t turn out the way we anticipate.

Dear Jilly,
It's your Birthday today and a good day to remember all the good times we had.
I was remembering Greece today - Agia Galini and the blue Mediterranean - the delicious yogurt - the kind people. I'd like to go back there.It must be pretty close to Heaven.
Good news in my life - I am a Grandmother! My little one's name is Maple Margaret McNabb and she loves to laugh - like you, and is beautiful, like her Mum and Dad.
But sad news too. My youngest brother Chris, after a 2 year battle with Multiple Myeloma, died on July 14/22. I still can't believe he's gone.
So if you meet a 6ft 7in handsome man (looks like Liam Neeson) with the voice of an angel - that's Chris. He and Kevin would get along great. He's got a wicked sense of humour too!
I miss you my dear friend,
Lots of Love
BevyXO.

Hi Jill I wish I could see that megawatt smile again...
I hate acknowledging your death...I loved you in life and that is how I hold you close. No the years do not dim or ease the pain...the tears still fall.
I'm going caravanning soon...a bit of a meander up the west coast of Australia, do a bit of casual work but mostly enjoying myself with my dog. Just like we used to do Jill...you're coming along with me hun...xxxx

Hi Jill so much a part of my life and still missing you so much. Our glorious days together travelling and being friends shaped me and hold me with warm memories. It's your birthday today and each year I get older but you stay the gorgeous woman that you were. You will be so happy to know that Bev reached out to me and we are now continuing the friendship that you created. Oh I would love to see you again and be in your dynamic presence.

Dear Jill,
Another birthday my dear friend. And let me tell you - getting old is not for sissies !! And while I'm getting my cataract surgeries, knee replacement and "barnacle" removal (fair skin and sun means freckles and lumpy things!) you will stay beautiful forever in the minds and hearts of those who love you. Miss your laughter so much.

I was supposed to fly up and see you the day after you passed. I was caught by surprise by the phone call, as I was expecting to see you a few more times. I think the hug you gave me the last time we saw each other as we walked near the ravine near your home, was your way of saying goodbye. It seems like yesterday!

Jilly, I think of you nearly everyday. I drive by your house and it never fails you fill my heart. I adored our years together. You made me laugh, you made me wiser. I miss you and your wild self.
Bob, I loved coming accross this tonight. Jill loved you always. She always talked about you and I know she was sooo happy to reconnect. You are a special person and I'm so glad you touched her life. She was a very amazing woman and she became a VERY special friend to me. We started out neighbors and then we became family. She blessed my life.

My Dear friend Jill,
It has been so many years but I think of you often and miss you so much. I'm glad to find this site to share my memories. And there were so many good ones!
Meeting you on the Appollonia leaving Haifa to sail to Athens on my 22nd Birthday (April 22, 1973) was one of the best birthday gifts I've ever received! You created a "Jill party" in a heartbeat!! The first of many in Greece, Italy, Toronto, Detroit, Teneriffe, and San Francisco.
We danced in the olive groves on Mayday in Crete. We dodged the amorous Italians in Rome and Florence (They knew there were 2 blondes under those scarves and long skirts!). We cried and then celebrated Kevin's life in the Canary Islands. We laughed and fought for yours in Detroit with your first surgery. My little son fell in love with you when you chased waves with him on the beach in SF and let him play with the clap-on/off light switch you needed after your second surgery!! He's 25 now and still remembers your joy and laughter.
We once joked that we'd celebrate our 65th birthdays together. Well, I'm coming to SF to do that in the city you love. Breakfast at Louis? BevyX0

My dear friend Jill, I have been thinking so much about you for many years now. I am so sad that we lost touch due to our illnesses. I want everyone to know that you were one of the greatest women I met in my life. I hope you know that I loved you and that you influenced my life and made me a better person.

Jill was my next door neighbor in the early 80s (maybe earlier?) when I was a little, little boy in Michigan. I'd been thinking of her and Bob and decided to Google them to see if I might be able to get in touch, and found this guest book. I did not have a happy childhood, and I have to say that the time I spent with Bob and Jill--whose house was always unlocked for me and who never once turned me away--were some of the fondest memories I have. My memories of Jill are mostly of her making me laugh--I remember her having a great, quick wit, recognizable even to a 5-yr-old kid! I also remember a day when I was a bit older; she was preparing to sell the house, and hired me and two other neighborhood kids to help her do yard "work"--I use quotes because there was far more horsing around and laughing than weeding that went on! I remember introducing her to the other kids like she was my ultra-cool big sister--and they were instantly obsessed with her because of how hard they made her laugh. For payment for our yardwork services, we all packed into her tiny Fiero and went to Baskin-Robbins, cracking up the whole way because of how smushed into that tiny car we were (I suppose today nobody would allow this, but it was the 80s!). Such great memories of her, I wish we could have gotten back in touch. It sounds like she lived an amazing life and was loved immensely. Thanks for everything, Jill. Perhaps we'll catch up down the road. Love, the annoying kid next door that would never leave you the hell alone! :)

Very late to this book but something made me think of Jill today and one quick Google search brought me here. We worked together in the late "70's in Detroit, cold calling businesses door to door selling long distance service. Jill had great energy and a good dose of drama about her; along with a warm and caring heart. Last saw her sometime in mid '80's , she was doing Kelly & Company and having a blast. Sorry to learn this, late condolences, she was good one.

Well Jill, the girls and I will be thinking of you on your birthday. Often times your name comes up in conversation and usually a smile follows. Hey just had a small earthquake as I am writing this, no need to flex your muscles. Ha Ha
Looks like your long lost friend Simone from Amsterdam found you. I hope she gets to know you did try to find her. I am sure you are watching over her, cause after all it was your mission to worry over all of us when you were here. I know I am early but Happy Bithday Love Bob

Jill, So many memories! True many from years past but some not so distant. The reunion in 2000 when I spent the weekend at your apartment in Pacific Heights. The most time we had spent together since high school, and I saw what a full, rich life you had, how many people in your life that you had worked with and loved you so much. You were a bigger than life woman and the people around you couldn't help but catch your passion and excitmant for it. I'll never forget when Kevin was dying, how you took charge at the hospital and were an advocate for him when the medical staff knew less about his condition than you did. The four days you stayed awake after the earthquake in '89. Your telling me I was nuts for feeling guilty about not being there to help "my" city. Not to mention, Graduation Day (Thank God for Colleen! We never would have made it to the ceremony!),Lester Ackers house and many trips to Mt. Tamalpais. My father shared his briefcase. from Camp Westerbork with us when we were seniors in high school and that made such an impresion on you that when "Schindlers List" came out you couldn't go see it and you called me and insisted that I get out the case and look for Dad's "yellow star". I new it was gone,Dad threw it away the day he showed it to us, but I got out the case and finally after 17 yrs.,went through it and found a treasure of family history plus all the documentation that Cheryl, Danny and I, decided belonged in a Holocaust Museum, and is. Thank You Jill, for bringing so much courage, passion and enthusiasm for life, to my life and that of countless others who you helped. Love, Leana

Dear Colleen,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Kevin was one of my dearest friends, and I had the good fortune to spend time with Jill in Detroit during the time of his passing where I got the chance to get to know her. She was lovely, strong, courageous and filled with grit. She worked hard all day and then came home to act as Kevin's advocate at the hospital. She graciously opened her home to me so that I could spend time with Kevin during his final days. We talked, laughed, cried and raged together, like close friends without the history of time. Our paths went different ways, but those days together connected us. I am sure Kevin is holding her now with his angel's wings. My heart goes out to you, Colleen.

Dear Jilly. I know you can't read this or hear my words but I know for sure you can feel my heart. I know we had our ups and downs through the years but I never stopped loving you. Kevin and you were the lights of my life. I will think of you every day with all of the love I felt for you. No matter how angry we got at each other, we always had each others back. I will continue to miss you all of my life. I also know you will have my back as long as I live.
Your loving sister forever

My dearest Jillian,
Nearly six years ago you were the new neighbor with the cute bulldog pup... today you are my dear friend with the crazy dog. You truly are the most amazing woman. I have never met anyone with so many people who love you. I feel so blessed to join that group of people. We have some wonderful and fun memories of our own that I enjoy sharing. Being able to share both wonderful & difficult times with each other taught me the most valuable lesson I have learned so far. That is that it's not WHAT you have...it's who you share it with. Life is all about the people that share love with you and what you give to them. You gave me so much! I love you and will miss you terribly!

Jill,
You were truly one of a kind. As my dad stated, I never once heard you complain or whine about anything. You've taught me so much, and I was just lucky to be able to know you. The memories I have of you are something that I will always cherish and will forever be embedded in my memory. You mean so much to me and my family as well as so many other people. We all love you, so much. You will never ever be forgotten.

Dear Colleen, I was so sorry to hear of Jill's passing. It had been several months since I spoke with her, always laughing always putting up the good fight. When I heard from Leana about the services I realized that on this Feb. 22nd, the day you will celebrate her life,,exactly 35 years ago to the day, she and I were celebrating my 20th birthday together in Israel. She somehow got a ride into the little town we were near and bought what was probably the only bottle of Jhonnie Walker Red in the whole of Israel so we could have a real celebration. So Jill!!! It's as if it were yesterday. She and I shared a pivotal time in our lives that I believe shaped us as women significantly and she will live in my heart forever. I am sorry I cannot be there on Friday but will hold you close in my thoughts Love .Cheryl

I know we talk constantly but don't ever forget I will forever be available to you. I am glad to have you at this time in my life. This loss is so profound for us both. Jill left me you and you me, this was her plan. I miss her beyond words. Take care of yourself. We'll talk again soon.

So many wonderful times with you, so many wonderful TV shows. You always made it easy and a joy.

"Ha" (just the way you said it) a short laugh but direct.

You were not in my life for very long. However, you have made an impact on it that I could never forget. You've showed me how to live my life, and that in the end its not about what you have, but who you have. You are greatly missed, and loved more then I can explain.

Dearest Jill, for so long we had a friendship that withstood the distance and chronic inability to stay in regular contact but we loved each other dearly as friends and my life changed when we met in Amsterdam so long ago. As travel companions we had the best adventures, met the most wonderful people and grew together from young girls into world savy women. Your friendship and love was the most precious gift you gave and you gave it so generously that you are a legend in my heart and in the hearts of my family. You will always be forever young to me..I will keep those memories fresh and as new as the days we created them.
Forever in our hearts from Joyce, Alex and Anne, Monique, Alira Ari and Mario xxxxxxxxxxxx
A special message of love also comes from Gillian, Linton, Johana,Toby and Lauren...memories of times together in Salou, Spain
Love from all the friends you made in Spain...know that you were loved and cherished.xxxxxxx

I miss you so much. I remember when we went shopping together in San Fransisco and we had so much fun. I wish that you were here to come and see my dad, my sister, grandma and I. I love you so much! May you rest in Peace. You know that my family wishes you the best and we love you more than anybody else!

Jill,
I have never met a person as courageous as you. You had every reason to wallow in self-pity or complain about how hard it was raining on your parade, however you never lost sight of the focus of living each day as fully as possible. I am so glad you reached out to me and opened your heart to my girls. Mae-Ling and Sue-Ling were overwhelmed by you and your strength of character and the warmth of your heart. You will always be within our hearts. An indelible stamp was made on our lives. I love you. You are truly beautiful. Your life light is so bright. Life was good to me when it brought us together onto this path.
