To Jill's Family and Friends:
Jill was an wonderful woman, mother and boss. Jill hired me at Zeke's five years ago. I miss working with her. She took care of many people and will always be remembered for that. She is in my thoughts and prayers along with her family and friends.

I wanted to express my deepest sympathy to your family. I watched Chase & Hailey grow up because they came to my mom's (Debbie) house for Daycare. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I am so sorry for your loss. I haven't seen Jill in years, but all through high school it was Jill, Lori, and Brenda. I loved Jill like a sister and I will miss her along with her x-mas cards with her cute notes. She was very proud of her children and happy with life what I could see with her cards. Life is so busy but I learned now - we have to make time for our friends and loved ones. Jill I will miss you dearly.
Love Brenda
