Jill & I have been very close friends for almost 50 yrs. We met & became friends first week of 7th grade in Home Economics and have remained close.
Jill, Sheri & I were called the 3 musketeers through high school, always together! Jill had a great memory & we always enjoyed to reminisce. She had a couple of nicknames that I wouldn’t let her forget…Jilly-bad-ass she earned that one for standing up for someone & Chilly-Jilly if you know, you know!
Jill loved her family just like a momma bear. She would also give the shirt off her back for someone in need. She was a dear friend that knew me inside and out. Jill will be greatly missed by me and all those who loved her. I will love you forever my friend. Save me a seat & I’ll see you soon.. Becky😢💞
