While Jill and I did a few things together for fun they were generally planned. However one evening when I called and invited her spontaneously to a play by the Brookfield community theater players she accepted, perhaps because it was being staged at her alma mater, Brookfield Central. We arrived just prior to show time to learn it was a sold out show, but I noticed a table full of envelopes with "Will Call" tickets in them. I was drawn to one immediately. 'Hey, Jill, look. There are 2 tickets here for "Jurken"!' Since the curtain was about to go up, we were given the tickets, and allowed to hustle into the theater (We weren't even charged, since they were already paid for). We enjoyed the play, and decided the whole experience was a sign we should be spontaneous more often.

I am remembering Jill and I celebrating quietly our graduation from the School Of Spiritual Psychology in May, 2000, at the Bluemound Gardens (117th. & Bluemound, a restaurant now no longer there). As class partners we had assisted each other through the final 2 years of an emotionally and mentally challenging, often intense 3 year course. We didn't have to say a lot, as we could read what each other was feeling: utter contentment and peace, a deeply felt triumphant satisfaction, an amazed wonder at what we had achieved, and also at the realization it was really and finally over. We both felt proud of and grateful to each other, as well as proud of ourselves individually. I will always remember her and us in that way at that time.

I have only known Jill for almost a year and she has been the most kindhearted supportive person that I needed in my life at the time. We have shared so many memories about our children and how proud she was. Things will never be the same without you Jill. With love from your PQ family.

My sensitive, helpful partner at The School of Spiritual Psychology. You applied yourself to increase your self-knowledge, to speak your truth, and witness others speaking theirs, and to make a genuine, sustained effort at applying Transformations principles in your life. The effort you made is your reward. I am grateful to have known you. I feel, and hope that you benefitted from your life, and your time here. 'No mistakes in becoming.'
