Jilly, Jilly, I know you are close but it doesn't diminish the grief I feel on this side. I have such beautiful memories of you but my heart still wishes I could call you on the phone or go to Aruba or St. Marteen again with you. Can you believe Dennis found us and we are with Sean's youngest and Adrienne and Peter came to the pearly gates and all your boys are doing well. Kinda trippy and amazing. Love love love.

This is school April vacation week and I am still on that schedule with kids, but it always starts with thoughts of you since nine year ago this week you left us. Your work here was done, I think I understand that but to be honest I still miss you terribly. Sometimes I wonder if I didn't do a proper good bye because I still feel like it was yesterday. So many things go on and I can't talk to you about them anymore and I can't visit you. When someone dies that I know, I usually think of you first, maybe you are very busy now helping people move on over there! Peter and Adrienne catch up with you more recently? And you made quite the impression on Barb, who still stays in touch. But I will just finish up by saying that you ended up being a rock for me and a damn good model for what good people do. If more of us were like you, the world would be brighter place. Namaste

Another year and my heart still cracks when I think of not seeing you anymore. I figure you would give me that serious 'no nonsense' look if you were standing in front of me...but in your coming and going in my life, things will never be the same. Hope the angel work is easier - Happy Birthday. Love J

I can't believe it has been a year already. I am still sadden and find it hard to believe you are gone. I look at your picture everyday and the memories of you always brings a smile to my face.

Dear Jill,
Today is your birthday! WOW. Though not a day goes by where you are not missed by us.
I had half expected to honor you reaching the end of an incredibly difficult though hard-fought journey when the time came. And the other half of me now knows I will never quite feel the same again--the absence of your presence so tender. It is, for certain, the end of our connection here and even when I have my days in complete denial, I realize your troubles really are over now. I still find myself reaching for that phone when I need to talk to you, so I'll continue to take it on faith that you hear me. Okay?
We'll miss you for always. I hope you knew that and we told you enough just how dear you were to us. You were and still are the absolute most fun, too. You brought so much life into a room, it is hard not feel that dim-ness in our loss. Thank you for all you gave, for all the struggle to stay with us and for just being a part of us for the time we had together. Happy Birthday to you, Jill, in your every now.
Love ya (always)

Dear Lou and family, I am so sorry for your lost. I still can't believe it. I loved Jill like a sister she was a very wonderful person and my family loved her. Even though I haven't seen her in about a year we sent emails back and forth and I made sure she had every picture of my daughter Bryanna. Jill had a good heart and I will always remember that she was a witness at my wedding and was in the delivery room when I had my daughter. I hope you cherish all the memories of this wonderful person as I will

Dear Lou,
I was really sorry to hear of Jill's passing after such a long fight. My heart goes out to you and your family in this time of loss. I hope that there is some comfort in knowing she is now at peace.

Dear Family of Jill,
I was so sorry to have read of the passing of Jill. It is a deep loss.
Even though it has been many moons I have seen Jill it is still pulling at the heartstrings. Jill has left too young & died too soon & she was good stuff. I can still recall Jill's level headedness in the midst of the 60's dramas when we knew each other well on the West Coast. She was a good friend to have. I remember how happy she was when she and Lou decided to make a family together. It is a comfort to see she was very loved and had a good family.
I hope there will be even greater comfort in knowing her work for God is done here and she is now soaring with angels.
Be blessed.

Dear Lou, Adam, Dominic and Ryan, and of course all of her family,
The kids and I were sorry we couldn't make it for the service. Jill was such a wonderful person. She always knew what was perfect for Sonia and Clare, they loved the Halloween cats that pooped jelly beans! and she taught Sonia how to twirl spaghetti. When I told them, Clare was mad, she asked, "why did you tell us Aunt Jill died? You should have told us that she went to heaven."
I will miss her warmth, her laughter, her honesty and the way she thought things through and questioned. I didn't know her as long or as well as all of you, but it was long enough to love her and to know how much she will be missed.
You are in our thoughts and our hearts, be kind to yourselves in your sorrow.

Jill will forever be in our hearts. Her kindness had a lasting impact and will be cherished. I remember our trip to NY..I was shaking in my shoes,having a panic attack on the streets of Manhathan, she gently touched my shoulder and said something about the big apple and fun, at that moment, I was able to breath, refocus, and make a quick bee line back to my room...That was kindness with good laugh..

Dear Family of Jill,
We had not talked in many years but I had the good fortune to meet up with Jill and her sisters one evening. She was a school mate of mine in Clinton and I remember how I thought she hadn't lost that generous and funny way about her that I knew so many years ago.
I am sorry for your loss. Jill was a good and decent person and parted too young.
May she rest peacefully in your hearts.

Dear Jilly,
You lived for so long waiting for the other shoe to fall off - with this insidious disease. It robbed you in the prime of your life, and you fought beyond a grand fight. If I can live with 1/10th of the courage & dignity & humility you possessed--I will learn one of life's greatest trials -
The gift of you for me & our family is forever a lit candle. I could not be who I am if it were not for you, your acceptance, your insights and that endless twinkle-like laugh, okay, even the Tina Turner concert!
I know you said 'no tears' but it really is utterly impossible right now--no regrets, just grief in letting you go (for now). I wonder who I will I listen to, who will cheer us on to forgive, let go, and now who's spelling can I correct? who will I call when I can't take it any more? You are desperately missed on this plane but how rich the tapestry of life is because of you. I guess you can see that now, for sure. Always, love Jackie
forever in our hearts
