Not sure what to say?

My deepest sympathies to Jill's family. While she will be missed I am confident she has left all of you with a boatload of wonderful memories.

There is a tradition in the Air Force called the Missing Man Formation - it happens to signify the loss of a key person. I've known Jill since we were about 10 years old. In 1967, Jill became my wingman and hung on the wing through the great and bad times for 44 years. She was the one with the auburn hair, sparkling eyes, beautiful smile and great stories about our adventures and exploits. As she departed the formation, I know God granted her smooth air, clear skies and the sun and stars...

Jill was such an amazing person. Thank you for letting me take care of her. It was a pleasure to be a part of her life and I will treasure it forever. She will be greatly missed.

My condolences to the family. God gives us a a hope of everlasting lifemail that can sustain you. Johno 17:3

I met Jill at Rotary Forms in Hillsboro, she was then and obviously continued to be a spirited soul who loved life. So sorry for the families loss. Dee Siders

A beautiful kind soul, she always made you feel like a life long friend. She was always one of my favorite people to encounter at family get togethers, or otherwise. She will be dearly missed. When my time comes, I will be listening for your laugh, that wonderful laugh. Good bye Jill - until we meet again.

I will cherish the memories of the fun we had together. You were such a joy to be around. You will be missed.

So sorry to hear about Jill. Our condolences to her family.
