I am so sad to hear about Jill. I was a cheerleader with her before high school and at Walnut Ridge. I remember Jill always being full of energy and smiles. She had such kind heart. I haven't seen Jill since high school, but often would laugh about memories with her. My thoughts and prayers are with her family. She will be missed and remembered fondly.
