Mr & Mrs Wolfe, I grew up with Jill just up the street on Howard Dr. Some of my fondest childhood memories involve Jill, like the time you brought Jill and I to the Barry Manilow concert in Mass. Also standing at the bus stop every morning directly across from your house and being so envious of Jill because she could walk out of the house at the last possible minute.
To say the least I am so shocked and saddend by the news of Jill's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I wish I could say or do more to ease the pain your certainly feeling.
I will always remember the happy times spent with Jill.
May God Bless,

Brenda Wildey

Mary & Ros,

You are in our thoughts & prayers.
If there is anything we can do or you need anything, just know we will be there for you.

It's been a long journey and we have been through it all. This is by far the worst stop along the way.

Love you,
