I am so sorry for your loss. Though I lost touch with Jill when I moved, I have so many wonderful memories of Jill at Kelty's Baptist Church. I have photos from all the youth trips we would take together. My prayers go out to her family during this difficult time.

Al, Darlene, Andy, Lea, Aaron and Adam. Jill was beautiful--in face and spirit. Watching her with Aaron when he played baseball (little boy) it was obvious what a wonderful mother she would be someday. I know this is the hardest of times but how wonderful for you that you were privileged to be her parents, brother, sister-n-law, and nephews. Our thoughts and love are with you at this time.

I knew Jill thru highschool, and what a beautiful person she always will be to me. I know that her son will know her and will come to know all of the kind things she did in her life. We were all very fortunate to have known her. God Bless the family, you are in my prayers. Thank You Jill for always smiling.

My heart goes out to all of you. I am keeping you in my prayers. I knew Jill through softball and high school. She was truly a smart, amazing, and outgoing girl. I know she will be missed by all who knew her.
I was surprised to find out that she lived in El Dorado. I live in Camden which is only about 30 minutes from there.
I am so sorry for your loss. I know Jill is in Heaven praising the Lord.

Dearest Darlene, Al and family: I monitor the Lufkin News and was scanning the obituary section to see if I knew any who have passed away. When I read about your precious Jill, I must say I was devastated. I remember the day she was born in December, the 20th I believe. We were all raising kids at Keltys, and Jill was certainly a positive role model for most of the kids. Even though she was younger than all 3 of my children, she was very dear to me. Each time I revisited the church, she always remembered me and made me feel welcome. God has given you a guardian angel, and even though we don't understand, He has a special place for that Angel in His kingdom. I will share your grief in the days to come, and remember you and your precious son-in-law and grandson in prayer daily. May God grant you peace and give you comfort in the days to come.

So many memories, Christmas plays, birthday parties, VBS, Youth Group activities, school, etc...She was always there with a positive attitude and so much energy! She loved each one of you so much! It is hard to believe that we will not see her again on this earth.

I can't begin to explain the sorrow I feel right now. Jill was such an amazing person! She could light up a room anytime she was around. I always looked up to Jill as we grew up together at Keltys. Jill was like a big sis to me in so many ways and a great friend. I cherish all the memories I have of Jill. Both the Jarvis and Attebery families' are in my prayers. My heart goes out to Scott and Bryce for the days & years to come.

Darlene, I just today learned of the loss of your precious Jill. I know your children are your life and the grief is so hard to bear, but with the help of our Heavenly Father and your faith in Him, you will get through this sad time. I read all the comments in this guest book and it must be a wonderful feeling to know how many lives she touched and how loved she was by all who knew her. We will keep you in our prayers and in our hearts. Ron & Pat

I just wanted to say that after seeing Jill's memorial service at Kelty's Baptist Church, that Jill's life was a testimony to everyone she encountered. What a wonderful legacy for her sweet baby boy! I haven't seen Jill in years, but remember her as a young teenager and she left an impression on me then. My daughter is related (distantly) on the Baker side of the family. I will keep this family and her precious son in my prayers. Her life was truly an inspiration and maybe in her death, there will be some good to come from this. Her story touched my life as I am sure it has many others. I lost a brother suddenly and tragically and I feel the pain that this family is going through.

My heart was broken when I heard the news. I have so many uplifting memories of Jill as we studied together during nursing school in Nacogdoches. She always seemed to "have it all together." Always smiling, lending a hand (mostly hugs!), and keeping us together as we struggled. I will never forget her kind words, praise, and beautiful smile. I am glad to know that her beautiful spirit will continue as she lends promise to the 8 others recieving her gift of life. I send the Jarvis and Attebery families my deepest condolences and prayers. May your spirit in our Heavenly Father give you strength. God Bless~

Jill Jarvis was a name I heard often growing up as my Dad worked with Al Jarvis for many years. Jill was an amazing role model. I remember watching her play softball and who could forget seeing her on the 50yd. line as Capt. of the drill team. She once took a group of us younger girls who were pep squad captains at Jr. High West to a dance competition in Houston. I will forever cherish the time we spent together and the memories made. My thoughts and prayers are with you Mr. and Mrs. Jarvis and also with the Atteberry family.

There are many wonderful things that I remember about Jill, but the one thing that I remember most is her big, beautiful smile. Her presence always made a difference in the classroom and in the hallways at school.

but you surpass them all." Proverbs 31:29
What an awesome testimony of her life. I feel honored to have known Jill.

Jill was one of the few girls I knew that didn't throw like a girl. Her passion for Christ and angelic voice will remain her legacy in my heart forever. "Be still and know that I'm your God'... such a beautiful song- touched my life. My prayers of comfort will continue for her family.

Dear Javis & Attebery families,
What joy Jill brought everyone as we traveled together to the singings with the Calvary Boys. Andy has an amazing gift on the piano and Al and Darlene helped produce concerts in Lufkin. Jill was always there and such a delight. How can we express our sympathy..."How Beautiful Heaven Must Be" with this new addition. Our prayers are with you all and what a privilege to know all the Jarvis family.
Love,

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I graduated nursing school at SFA with Jill in December of 1999. Jill had a contagious shining personality. Always smiling and laughing. Everyone loved to be around her. She was an inspiration and example to all. She always kept our class with an upbeat attitude no matter how bad things got or how tired we all were from studying all night. It sounds like she continued to lead an inspirational life after nursing school and that doesn't suprize me a bit. May God bless all her family and friends during this time.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Jarvis & Family,
I only knew Jill for just one year, it was 1991-92. Jill was my very first captain as I took the job of Pre-drill director at Lufkin High School. I still remember how organized, take-charge, loving, and talented Jill was. I was the director, yet I knew that Jill could have directed the Panther Pride all on her own. She was an amazing young lady that I will always remember with great adoration and praise! Thank God for her willingness to do His work and live in His likeness!!!
Lovingly, Debbie Hemphill

I was Jill's 9th grade American history teacher at Junior High West. She was a wonderful student who had an infectious enthusiasm for learning and a great zest for life. She was a real "people person" and was one of the most caring, selfless people I ever met. All who knew her were touched by her strengths and her goodness. Jill will be greatly missed.

Like everybody else, I am pretty shocked. Jill was everything to me in high school and through college. I am very sad for her loss and for Scott's loss. I know what he had in her. Bryce will be proud of his mother. I know that she loved him more than anything else. Katie and I pray for them and their future without her. I know it will be a hard road for both of them. The world will not be the same without Jill. She will always be in our hearts.
