I was touched today by one of your sweet girls' random acts of kindness cards. Although I never knew your daughter, Jilly's life blessed my heart and brought a smile to my face. I loved learning about her feisty spirit through your beautiful tribute above. I'm excited to pay it forward in her honor as her legacy lives on.

Please know that you have my deepest sympathy.
You and the family are in my prayers. May you be granted peace during this holiday season.

Thank you for sharing your little angel Jillian with us. Although we never met, her light was so bright as she touched the hearts of so many that it touched mine as well. I am the co-author of Harriet's Heartbroken Heart. A little healing book for children who have lost someone special in their lives. The last line reads, "This is not the end of the story, it's only the beginning!" Jillian wrote her incredible story and will continue to help you turn the pages of yours! Love, blessings and light.....Lainie Belcastro
