God brings people in our lives for a season, a reason, or a lifetime. Although Jill's lifetime was not as long as I think it should have been, I also trust God and His infinite wisdom. Jill was brought into my life for a season, and a reason. She tried to always be positive when we talked even during the worst of her illness, even though I could tell it was a battle beyond her strength. That's why she gave it all to Jesus and when I spoke to her a week before she died, I could hear the peace in her voice and her only concern was for her family she was leaving behind. Parrish, Keeley, Broc, our prayers are with you as you grieve the loss of your wife and mother. I pray that God will give you a peace that passes all understanding in time.
