There’s been a blank space in my life these past two years since Jill's passing. We did many things together – working the wine booth at Oktoberfest (where we took full advantage of the samples for volunteers), going to the Greek Festival, attending musical performances, and dining out. I particularly loved her deliberate and minimalist approach to living. She was a great pal, and I miss her.

It’s with a heavy heart that I write these words. What a thoughtful, talented and truly beautiful person you were, Jill. I will always remember your passion for art and design, your love of music, and for your selflessness. I was blessed to have had you in my life. You will be greatly missed.
Wishing your family peace and comfort at this difficult time.

Always shooting for the stars,
She finally made it past the moon.
She loved the moon.

To all of Jill's Family:
I knew Jill since elementary school at Etna Rd. She was always a sweet and intelligent person with a wonderful smile. I am so very saddened to hear of her passing. My heart and prayers go out to all of you during this time. May God find a way to touch your lives and comfort you. Jill was truly a special person who all of us will miss.

Jill and I grew up together in Whitehall. I always envied how smart she was. During grade school at Etna Road Elementary she spelled the word "electricity" and I was amazed.
Jill and I grew up with a group of girls destined to be a part of what I unofficially call the strong-smart girl's club. Girls who grew up together to become women and destined to make a significant contribution to the people around them.
I realized that Jill and I truly lived parallel lives. Only a few years ago, our paths crossed at a mutual friend's party. We both found out that we were graphic designers. We had much in common to share about our life's trials and tribulations.
Sadly, I have lost too many friends and family to cancer. The pain is often too difficult to think about. Today I found out that a friend of mine had a little baby girl. So with death comes birth -- I will try to find comfort in that.
I send all my love to Jill, her family and friends.

Sharon, Craig and Family,
I was very saddened to hear that Jill passed away. My heart goes out to you in this difficult time. Jill was a very special person who I first met in Girl Scouts in 2nd grade. I saw Jill and Sharon at COSI this past November and I am thankful that I was able to see Jill and talk with her at that time, as she seemed very happy. Again, I am so sorry for your loss. Her time here was much too short.
With Sympathy,
Lisa (and Tom, Sylvia, Katrina, and Gabrielle Ore)

My Dear Sharon and Family, what can I say to you that will help all of you through this, my dears... I am so shocked and so saddened to hear of Jill's life-release. So much to do yet; so much to live for...so young.
Such a pretty young woman, your daughter, who was also a sister, an aunt, and a friend. I too, saw her grow into a young woman along with my daughter, Juli....
I pray always for a cure of this awful disease....It has touched so may people and lives. May our Lord put His loving arms around all of you and hold you close to Him.....
With Love and Tears, Juli's Mom, Joy Russell

I was shocked and saddened to hear of Jill's passing. I met Jill many years ago at an REO Speedwagon concert and kept in touch with her through the years. She was always upbeat, kind and fun to be around. She loved her family, friends and life. I will miss her. May her family find comfort in the fact that she touched many people with her kindness and friendship during her short life.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

I don't really know what to say, Jill. I loved you like a sister, and yet I wasn't there for you at the end. I just thought you'd always be there. I've spent the day looking back over 30-some years of memories. You were a huge part of my life for so many years. I will never forget our friendship.
