Hello
My name is Kathleen A Tulli
I lived on Castle Dr all my life until currently moving..I did not know Jillian but my mom told me of her passing.. I will never ever understand why these things happen. BUT THEY DO..I guess God has his reasons.. I wish I could take away your pain and bring Jillian back but I can't.. Jillian is all around her family, look for her, she will send you many signs to let you know that she is fine..She's on the other side that's all she has not left you..Talk to her and she will answer.. My deepest sympathies to you all..If you need anything my parents are a hop and a skip away..
Love and Blessings
Kathleen A Tulli
