John and I are heartbroken for your family. We have always loved Jill
My sincere condolences to you and your family. May Jill Rest In Peace and smile over you. Sending many healing prayers at this very difficult time.
Jill was a ray of sunshine and always like a big sister to me. Her laughter was infectious and always trying to keep life in a positive way. Wonderful human being and will be missed greatly by all who had the joy of spending a second or years with her. Much love sent to the family
I am so saddened to hear of Jill’s passing. She was such an amazing woman—beautiful inside and out, brilliant and so funny. I remember when she first started dating Jamie and how happy she was. She attended my wedding. It’s been many years since we connected but even so, my heart is breaking knowing that the world lost such an incredible person. My love and condolences to Francine and all of Jill’s family.
I have a fond memory of being Jill’s office neighbor for many years and I remember her cheerfulness. Vipa Jain
