Not sure what to say?

I am so sorry to hear this. Jill changed my life. She was an amazing woman who will be forever missed.

To the family of Jill Main heartfelt condolences. Friends from way back in school days, followed by years of working together on the Society for Research on Women in New Zealand I have many fond memories of Jill's kindness, efficiency and amazing innovative hard work. She even made several outfits for my daughters as we were going overseas and it was clear I'd never accomplish the sewing I was planning. I treasure the art piece she made me as a SROW memorial. My sympathy to the family, Mary

I have lovely memories of past times I have spent with Jill. Her kind and thoughtful nature and wonderful creative generosity will be a reminder for me of how a life should be lived.

I am very sad to hear of the passing of Jill. She was like a second mum to me during the time I lived near you in Khandallah. Many happy memories, thinking of you all at this difficult time. Tanja Huxford ( nee Melgers)
