Sterling and Jullian sorry about your loss.  I really enjoyed dating your Mom for a year.  She was a real fun person to do things with, which it would of lasted longer.

I had the pleasure of meeting Jill from the former BNG. She was such a kind person that we became friends. We would get together every once in a while. I am happy she got to see France and I was waiting to see the pictures from her. Jill will be missed dearly. Deepest condolences to the entire family. Will be keeping you in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Sterling - My sincerest condolences on the passing of your mother, a truly wonderful woman.  Sasha and I are praying for comfort and closure for you and your family during this painful time. 

Respectfully,

Deepest condolences to you and your family for your loss.

My Aunt Jill…when she would call me she’d always say “This is your Aunt Jill” and we’d have lovely conversations about art and family history and just what was going on in our lives at the time. At the family gatherings she would greet me with a big hug and a “How are you sweetheart (or honey) in that slow drawl of hers. Two specific memories stand out: a week in Asheville NC for Grandpa’s Birthday (her Father Herb). We had great conversations and she helped me cook some dinners for the family. The second is when she called me to tell me how excited she was to be traveling to Costa Rica with her Children, and again she would call and update me about her travels abroad and how much she was enjoying that. She was always kind and loving toward me. Our conversations will be treasured. 

So sorry about dear Jill’s passing. 

We sometimes rode together to Davies UU. When she drove, I learned how she handled a particular stop sign when we merged onto a larger road. Pretty cool! So I’ve often been reminded of her at that road junction.

Jill was a fun and faithful friend when I lived in Alexandria.  I am sad to realize that long talked of visit will never take place.  She will be missed.  My condolences to Jillian, Sterling and families.

I couldn't believe it when I saw your photo of Jill with the dates 1952-2025 on her white T-shirt.  What?  I thought .. then I read the messages of condolence in your Facebook post and realized that Jill was gone.  I have only known her for a couple of years, but she had become a quiet thread in the fabric of my life that I will miss.  She and I and a couple of other friends gathered regularly in her home to play Quiddler every other Thursday, most weeks.  We had a lot of fun, and Jill also helped me out on several occasions when I needed to get to and from some doctor's appointments and I did the same for her.  The last time I saw Jill she was in high spirits and there were no signs that her demise was imminent. I am glad to hear that she passed peacefully in her home.  My heart goes out to her children who will miss her.  A mother's passing is always a major turning point in one's life.  Hugs to you all.

I have a lot of early memories of my cousin Jill. When families got together, she and I would go do things together, from running through the mud after a rainstorm, to picking blackberries.  We all went to the '64 worlds fair in an old woody station wagon. She was definitely a tomboy, and later became somewhat of a wild child. My last memory was tubing down the river in Asheville, NC, about 10 years ago.
