I was shocked and deeply saddened to learn of Jill's death. She truly was a “woman of valor.” Jill did so much to change lives at the University of the Arts and across Philadelphia for countless numbers of people. She was a good friend to all. Jill will be profoundly missed. I will always remember her fondly. With sincere condolences to Neal and the entire family, I send my deepest sympathy.

Warren & I send our heartfelt condolences to Jill's entire family. We were so saddened to hear of her illness and subsequent demise. We have such fond memories and recollections of her and were fortunate enough to spend much time with Jill while Eric and Gregg were growing up. She was a spark of light, enthusiasm, creativity and love. She will be sadly missed, but not forgotten.

My sincere symapthy to Jill's family. As a cousin to her Husband, Dr. Miles Felix, I remember Jill as a lovely young woman - 1st @ the U. of WI , at family functions & visiting at their home in PA. I am sorry for her much too early passing. She was to be admired by all of her accomplishments.
