Jill…..what a sweetheart!! My heart is broken, but in the same breath I’m a little happy because I know you are free of pain, blood sugar is normal, heart has no issues, you can breathe easy and no more poking with needles!! I can remember 25+ years ago when we worked together at Intermedia. I remember thinking “oh boy we’re gonna get in trouble together” and I remember we clicked …it just worked!! You were the true blue….the kind of friend that everyone wishes they had. You taught me to eat crab rangoons at the little chinese buffet place in New Tampa. I thought you were nuts…..I wasn’t eating those things!!! Well, I did and I ate some last night in your honor….I may have cried while eating them. Hush your pie hole I couldn’t help it and you would have cried too little missy!! Thank you my sweet girl for loving me like I was family…..for helping me to see a different angle when things seemed a little wonky. Thank you for the laughs…..Lord have mercy did we have some laughs!! I don’t know if I could actually count the times we spewed tea or coke across the table because one of us did something silly and laughed then till we cried or snorted…..well here comes the tears again 🙁 Thank you for always making sure to reach out when you were coming down here to Florida so we could figure out how to see each other and get BIG squishes!! I’m so glad you got to see my Momma this last time….she loved that visit and talked about your for a couple of days. Sometimes in life you come across a person who makes you see life differently…..you were that person for me. No matter what life dished your way….good, bad or ugly, you always handled it like a warrior. You didn’t complain….you may have cussed a nurse or two but they probably deserved it LOL. You were my perspective and I’m so grateful for you. I know without a shadow of a doubt that you knew how much I loved you…..we said it every time we hung the phone up or text. But for some reason I feel like I need to “say it” again……I LOVE YOU WITH MY WHOLE HEART and will miss you so much!! I’ll try and and behave, but if I decide to be a little bad I’ll do it in your honor!!! See you on the flip side ….find my Daddy and tell him I love and miss him ❤️
I’m so sorry to hear of Jill’s passing. Sending prayers for comfort and strength for the days ahead.
I’m sorry sorry to hear of the loss of sweet Jill. Prayers to her beloved family and friends.
I am still in shock to just learn of Jill gaining her wings. I want to send love from Auston and I to both Todd and Blade. Healing prayers to everyone who knew and loved her
