Aunt Jill we miss you so much. I still hope to one day wakeup and this all be a dream. May you forever Rest in Peace and I hope you are catching with Nini, Papa, Uncle Mike, and Lisa. I love you so much and you made such an impact in my life and I know that I will be forever grateful for all the hugs, kisses, and toys in the left drawer of your table that was in your front room on Jethro growing up. I love you.
