I miss you, Jilly. You were the kindest and most loyal friend. I miss laughing ourselves to tears; your snorting laugh! I wish our children could be family, because you will always be family in my heart. I don´t know your girls and that is so sad. However, I am sure that they carry all the beautiful traits of their Mom. Be free gypsy soul.

Jill was part of so many wonderful childhood memories. Girl Scouts, playing at the pool, goofing around the neighborhood. She was always up for fun and a genuinely good person, from kindergarten through high school, she was truly one of the good ones. Safe travels, my friend.

My condolences to the family, friends and all individuals who were privileged know Jill. I have many warm memories of Jill that are cherished and irreplaceable. Her laugh… it was infectious and vivacious… everyone laughed too. Jilly, may you find the serenity you deserve. You moved on too soon; your kindheartedness touched and created relationships that will live on forever. Your zest for life touched more people than you can ever imagine; the friendship, warmth and strength that you gave was genuine and exclusive to you. Thank you for the unconditional friendship; I am blessed to have been part of your life. No amount of writing can express what you meant to me. Be free, my friend.

I met Jill way back in the day playing softball, I believe her grandpa was our coach. She was so kind to every one. I hope the loving memories of her will comfort you during this time of loss.
