Heartfelt and sincere sympathies to the family. My best friend, you will be missed by all. The most wonderful and loving person I have ever known. I know you are now an angel in heaven just as you were on earth. Always and forever in my heart.
It is difficult to express in a few words how we felt about Gods newest angel, Jill. She was a bright light in our world. Her latest fight was a tough one and her persistence was beyond belief. We will truely miss her and her smile. We know she will be sitting at the bar in the big casino waiting her turn to get on the slots. You were loved here on Gods little acres and will be missed.
