I met Jill in Jan of '95 when I started working at the Union Club in NYC. She was very sweet and welcoming. She was a total pleasure to work with and I missed her when she went back to Boston. She would stop in from time to time and I was happy to see that she was ok. She always had a smile on her face. I was deeply saddened to hear of her death. I will never forget her!

Jill & I worked together at the Union Club in the '90s -- we were astonished and amazed to discover our grandmothers had lived a few blocks from each other in New Bedford and shared many memories and laughs. My sincere condolences on the loss of a beautiful daughter whom we all loved.
