5/18/05 Dear Sister,
It has been a little over a month since you went away. I can't explain the loss I feel. Even though we didn't talk or hang out everyday I still feel like a part of me is missing. I can't explain this feeling I have. I just want you to know how much we love and miss you. I can't call you on the phone and know that you will never read this-it is just my way of talking to you.
Love You Stista! Meesh

Jill,
Happy 31st Birthday
Love, Aunty Annette

I am so sorry for your loss. I went to High School with Jill and I have fond memories of her amazing smile. She could light up any room that she walked into. She was one of the nices people that I have known. I wish there was something I could say to take your pain away but I know there are no words. Please accept my deepest sympathy. She will be greatly missed.

My deepest sympathy to Jill's family and friends. I just heard about her tragic death from Jacki McCarty and would like everyone to know that Jill was one of my favorite students at Wilmington High School. I will always remember her dazzling smile...when Jill smiled, the entire room lighted up! I'm so sorry to hear this news.

To all of you,
My family and I would like to thank you for your love and support during this difficult time. My sister was tall and beautiful. She lived life to its fullest. She travelled, jumped out of planes, met movie stars, and did what she wanted to do. Jill has always been different. She loved to go here and there. In high school and beyond she caused many a man great heartache. She liked them all, but saved her love for that special someone. It was great to see...

You know that I love you all soo very much and that we all loved Jill. Although she wasn't around much, she was out making the most of her life. Praise the Lord that she did. I am sooo very glad for the many years growing up with her and being close to her. I will miss her sooooo much! I just rest in faith knowing that she is with our father. I am deeply sorry that she had to go but I know that she is in a better place. The ones that I am sad for are the ones left behind to bear the pain of...

Though it has been many years since I saw Jill and I did not know her well, I was saddened to hear of her sudden death and send my sympathy to the Whalen and Costello families.

I don't think all of you know how very much I value having you as my family. I love all of you so very deeply and learning of the loss of Jill has broken my heart more than I can express. It saddens me to see the pain this is causing all of you. I want to hug you and hold you and love you enough to make it all go away. Our family will never be the same. I hope that it will draw us closer to one another and help us to prioritize the time we spend in a way that will strengthen our love for each...
