I am so deeply saddened by this tragic news. "Cub" was the sister I never had in high school and her family was always so very good to me growing up in Webster. I will always have cherished and happy memories of our teenage years together, coupled with our Laverne and Shirley days as roommates with our first apartment.

My deepest sympathy goes to her family and loved ones.

Rest in Peace- sweet, loving angel.

Dear Rachel,
I went to grade school and graduated high school with your Aunt Vicki, now you go to school with my daughter Kayla. You sit right next to each other in Forum. Kayla and I are so sorry to hear about your Mom's passing. It was such a shock. I remember seeing your Mom and Aunt Vicki at your soccer games when you were in 7th and 8th grade. She was so proud of you and would cheer you on when you were playing. If there is anything Kayla or I can do for you, just let us know. Our prayers are with you and your family. Chris and Kayla Kulijof (Thrall-maiden name)

Jill was a very giving unselfish individual, always putting everyone before herself. I will always have fond memories of her, and also when we took our daughter to see NYSYNC at the Buffalo Arena one weekend. Her family should be so proud of her at all that she has achieved. I was fortunate to have her as a friend. Our prayers and thoughts go out to her whole family at such a devasting time.

I have known Gillian for many years-from VNS and HCR. She was a true friend and one of the most compassionate and caring people I have ever met and known. We laughed together and cried on each other's shoulder many times. She touches many hearts during her short life. She will be deeply missed. My heartfelt sympathy to her family.

I actually hadn't seen Gillian in roughly 30 years. We were friends as children at Plank Rd. North and then at Schroeder. Because it was so long ago, my memories are vague; going to each other's house, sitting together in class, a party in Jr. high, etc. But over the years I often thought of her, wondering what she was like as an adult. So I was saddened to see about her passing and my prayers go to her family, especially her children. After reading the entries from others, I get the impression she stayed as fun and nice as she was as a child.

I worked with Jill many years ago on B-5 at RGH. We had so much fun, a ton of laughs!!! I also went to NYC with her when she interviewed for a flight attendant job. So many great memories came flooding back to me when I read her notice. We lost touch after I moved away, but I remember running into her at the VNS parking lot in Webster. She was the same old Jill, happy and full of fun. I think it took us about 3 minutes before we were laughing hysterically over some memories from B-5.

I will never forget what a great friend she was, and my deepest sympathies go to her children, boyfriend, and family. I remember how close she was to her mom and sisters, she often talked about them and what they meant to her.

My prayers and thoughts are with you all at this heartbreaking time. I will never , ever forget my wonderful friend Jill.

Jill was one special lady. She adored and loved so much her kids and Steve and she was so lucky to have 2 very special sisters and one wonderful Mother. I will miss her so bad. She is in Heaven now and looking down on us. She will always be in our hearts. Kelly
