Words cannot adequately express just how much Jill meant to myself and all those lucky enough to have known her. Personally there are so many precious and often times hilarious memories we shared that I will forever treasure and keep in my heart. Even during the last 2 years while she courageously fought she kept her true sense of herself and her love of life, friends and family. We chatted and believe it or not laughed often during her doctor appointments about everything from work to our love of college basketball and pro football. We would text each other continuously during zags and hawks games doing our own hilarious commentary. I reached for my phone MANY times this week while watching our favorite teams wanting to share a quick laugh about a play or ugghhh about a penalty. Tears were NOT allowed during her fight but flow freely now.
Jill's love for animals and her care for their human families will be greatly missed by all of the clients she showed such great compassion for at work. She was a HUGE part of clinic life and is missed greatly by all of the staff who looked to her for all things from; an amazing listener/early morning coffee talks/tell it like it is advice.
My love and support go out to Jill's entire family some whom I have met and some whom I've heard loving stories about from Jill. I know the loss you all share and hold you in my thoughts and prayers.
I will forever miss you Jill and will hold all of our memories in my heart!
Tami and Phil Stokes

Jill was one of my most favorite friends. I will truly miss her sarcasm, laughter, mischievous nature, sheer honestly, and her love for friends, family and animals. Her love for Chandler (our dog) is something he and i will always hold dear. He will miss his daily 11am popcorn sharing with Jill! I will miss sharing flowers from my garden with her all through spring and summer. May she be at peace watching over all of whom she held close to her heart.
All of my love, Shell , Jerry, and Chandler.

My heartfelt sympathy to the WEATHERWAX family. I hope you will find comfort in God's promise at John 11:24,25. Knowing there is a future for those we have lost in death can be very reassuring during this difficult time.
