Dear Gorrill Family, I knew Jan as a physician/customer for many years. My interaction with Jan and her partners was always a pleasure. She was a very classy, down to earth lady that brought a breath of fresh air to any encounter. She spent lots of time talking about her family...it was clear how much you mean to her. My heart & prayers are with you. May your fond memories help ease your pain.

Dr. Gorrill made it possibile for us to become parents to our only child, 11 year old Daniel.
May God Bless You.

doug, although i knew from the random encounters we had in the hallways that jan was failing, it was still hard to see the picture in the paper. my thoughts are with you. i hope the love of friends and family can support you in this painful time. jim

My sincere thoughts and prayers to you, Doug and to your family. I met Jan through Shannon's bootcamp. I will always remember her taking client calls in the middle of a set of pushups, keeping her cool and jumping right back into bootcamp when she had put her client at ease. Jan was a joy to be with and I am happy to have met her. I loved her last project, the bracelets with the tiny family photos. Thank you for sharing her with me and many of our work out friends.
Sincerely,

My husband and I were shocked to read Dr.Gorrils obituary in the paper. We have often thought of her. With her expertise & dedication we have our one and only son who is now 15 years old & the light of our life. She was a beautiful person & we will never forget her. God bless to her family.

I am a mother to two year old Henry because of the sheer devotion of Dr. Gorrill. I got pregnant on a Saturday, when she came into the office in her jeans and tennis shoes. I stayed pregnant when she answered my after hours phone calls and responded to my concerns with medical intervention. I have always somewhat jokingly thought of her as the father of my child. What a blessing she still is, for all of the lovely people she has brought into this life. I am so, so sorry for your terrible...

It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that we say goodbye to someone who was dedicated to giving others the gift of new life, a child! Our thoughts and prayers are with you Doug, and the boys during this difficult time.

My heart is sad to hear of Dr. Gorrill's passing. She was a light of hope to many. Through her assistance, I was able to realize my dream of becoming a mother to little Brigette. Her compassion and love for life was evident each and every day. The world is a better place because of her.

I am so sorry. My heart goes out to you.
