To Richard, Marnie and Gabrielle, so sorry I couldn't come to the funeral. It was just too sad for me. Losing a dear friend of fifty years, what a loss. So vivacious was Jill, so vibrant, so colorful, so full of life. I can hear her words and laughter now and forever. May you rest in peace and love Jill. I will miss you very much. Arohanui Carol
