Jill was my friend from the get go when she came to work at a place I’d been at for awhile. Ten hour days were made shorter with long talks, singing and LOTS of laughs. I will forever miss our friendship and her feisty personality. Love and healing to her daughter and family, I know how much she loved them.

So sorry to hear about Jill's passing. We went to school and were good friends. Lost touch after but often what and how she was doing. Just found her not to long ago on Facebook.
