"Sharon and family- I just heard about Jill. I am so sorry! Jill was always ready with a smile and a laugh. I will never forget the time we dressed up as a "wedding party" and went out to get free drinks and a meal!! We had a blast! May she live on in our memories and laughter. My thoughts are with you."
"Jill, I will miss your opinions. :)"
"Sharon and Sheree, and family...I am so very sorry. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. How fortunate you have been, to have Jill's bright light in your lives. A blessing for all of you."
"Jill was truly a force ....of whatever she was doing! She didn't do anything half way and we shared lots of giggles and a few tears. I enjoyed her boldness and brutal honesty. If I had to use a few words to sum her up it would be..."she loved her family fiercely." God bless All of you and our deepest condolences to all of you. God gained an amazing Rockstar last week."
"Thinking of you all on this sad day. She will be dearly missed as we got used to her coming in to the Bistro to order her food to go. We remember when she got Mike in and he actually loved it, will never forget how happy she was about it. Truly, a kind soul. Sorry for your loss."
"Dearest Beloved Family, extended family, in-laws and close friends of Jill. I hope that all of us who knew and loved her will be able to reflect on her smile, her strength and all those wonderful qualities that she was and remember HER when we miss her. Thinking of her brings a smile to my face, although feeling so sad that she is gone too soon. It seems so hard to come up with the words to ease your pain, but thinking about her shining light brings me comfort. I hope it will for you too. I really think she will be your Angel close by, ready to love and protect you all from there as she was for you here. May Much much love and comfort of God go out to all of you and all of us who knew and loved her. CJ"

"So many great memories growing up with Jill and Sheree and Sharon in my life! We had a lot of fun! Jill with her sense of humor and sarcasm was always the entertainer. Bold & fearless, yet sensitive and kind, so genuine, always there for you, a one of a kind. And yes always Sheree's fierce protector.. but it was comical witnessing their sisterly quarrels. We did lots of cruising in the El Camino, hanging out at the beach, and having fun in the park! I will forever cherish having had Jill as a friend, classmate, sister & all the memories made! Blessings to Sharon, Sheree, Mike & all the kids & family, you're all in my prayers!"
