Heartfelt condolence. I know how hard it is. Jill was one of the few people who was kind and accepting of me. Her and Bill. They were a significant part of my life. And always remembered.

At first, even though I hadn't met her I was mad with her for 'taking you away' each Christmas !! At least after a bit. When I met her we hit it off immediately.. love of words.. love of you..
couldn't believe the truth when I heard she was gone. We had a roaring good time at your wedding with her posse. So much fun and good memories

I remember so many old times spent with Jill, when we were teens. She was a great consolation to me then. She was beautiful & a bit wild, a savant about poetry, art, music, and vintage everything. I never understood where her knowledge came from or how it grew, but the passion came straight from her. May the good memories bring strength to everyone who knew her.

I remember how thrilled and happy Jill was to meet her then-favorite poet,Diane Wakoski and to be able to spend the afternoon with her.
joy was palpable.
