Words cannot describe how I am feeling, I just found out yesterday. .I worked briefly with Jill at the Radisson. My name is Paul Rolf My thoughts,and prayers are with Jills family..
What a sweet gal! I had so much fun with her at dinners and get togethers. I will miss the long talks on the phone. She is in a better place now. What else can I say? I am in shock.
I’m so sorry for the loss of Jill. I keep hearing her laugh in my head. That is how I will remember her…with a smile on her face and a funny story for her to tell. Prayers to all of her family and friends. I would love to attend a gathering in honor of her memory.

We are so sorry to hear about Jill. We knew her from the neighborhood and at the pharmacy. She would go out of her way to do anything for anyone. She was such a loving and caring person. So sorry for, you, Mike, and though we didn’t know Casey, Jill always had a spark in her eyes when she talked about her. We will miss her.
God has taken my sister in His wing to bless her with eternal peace in Heaven. She has not left us but is always in our memories and hearts.
