Jill, you were a beacon of light for so many of us in our online group. Your positive attitude and encouraging spirit were gifts for all of us. Tomorrow night at 7pm, (Thursday) there will be a thousand prayers and candles lit across the continents in your memory. Our Polymyalgia group may be international, but you brought us all closer together with your love. Fly with the Angels ... you will not be forgotten.

I will miss you so much, Jillie. You were a true friend and such a lovely woman inside and out. There are just no words for the emptiness you will leave in my heart and the others you have touched in your life. I will always remember the time we shared whale watching in Oregon.....
