Jill Peters Smit

Jill and I were friends at Yoga and lunches on Longboat Key, FL during the winter months. She brightened up the room when she walked in and was always loads of fun and laughter. She stood in front of me and we often giggled thru the class. I still envision her there often. Gone but not forgotten in the hearts of those who knew her. Gail Cardi

Jill was a Florida friend who I got to know thru yoga and church. Along with others in our class, I enjoyed her friendship, our shared faith, and political discussio. She and Jerry enjoyed the outdoor life and sunsets on Longboat, along with a good glass of red wine.
Jill was always upbeat and kind....... Always had a good sense of humor. Her love for Jerry and her family was always evident.
She fought a long hard battle with dignity and grace. She will be missed.
My condolences to her entire family.

I was lucky enough to know Jill through Bernie´s friendship. Also lucky enough to be included on a couple of wonderful trips to Chicago. Jill always had a smile on her face and a story to tell. Rest in peace dear lady, you will be missed! Prayers and blessings for the family and friends. Gay Schueller, Dublin, Ohio

So sorry for your lost Jerry. My prayers are with you and your family.

I´ve known Jill since high school. Our lives have intersected many times over the years. We used to play racquetball at the Levee Court Club where I was in charge of setting up league matches and manning the child care room. I was an early babysitter for Jared, Peter and Abbey. Jill and Jerry rented my condo in Florida for a few years. They then rented a condo in the same complex. Jill and I stayed in touch during her treatment. She will always be in my thoughts and prayers.

A favorite memory would be Sunday Pizza Nights with the Smit's, Well's and Keiser's and all 9 kids.
